An historical fixture in the heart of the Hill District, First Church of God in Christ serves as the Mother Church for the denomination in the Western Pennsylvania region. The mission began as a house-to-house prayer group. The church was formally organized in 1924 and its original building was a converted stable at 2502 Centre Avenue. Though few in number, the membership was on fire for the Lord.
They held revivals, tent meetings (for example, on Tannehill Street), evangelized on the coal fields and spread the good news about Jesus Christ and His redemptive power. As a result of the tireless work of those early pioneers, many souls came to Christ. In 1936, the membership moved to 35 Miller Street and remained there until 1996 when the new edifice was completed. To learn more about the Church of God in Christ, Inc., click www.cogic.org.
