First United Presbyterian Church

About this church

First United Presbyterian Church of Tarentum follows two Sunday rhythms. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, worship begins at 10:00 a.m. During the program year, all-ages Sunday School begins around 10:00 and worship at 11:00. The church stands at Lock Street and Tenth Avenue beside Grandview Elementary, with parking directly across the street. A staffed nursery operates every Sunday, and a family room carries sanctuary audio. Children in kindergarten through third grade may leave after the children's sermon for junior church. Most program-year Sundays conclude with refreshments and fellowship.

First UP belongs to the Presbyterian Church (USA) and Pittsburgh Presbytery and practices full inclusion in worship, membership, governance, sacraments, service, ordination, and weddings regardless of race, gender identity, age, economic status, sexual orientation, or marital status. Children and families participate in Vacation Bible School, youth groups, conferences, and mission projects. Local service includes regular collections for the AVAC Food Bank, a community garden that supplies food, and support for families facing homelessness; mission trips have also assisted West Virginia communities with repairs and accessibility work. The seasonal schedule is important for planning, while the church's defining character is radical welcome joined to hands-on Allegheny Valley service.
