Sunday School / Children and Youth Activities
Under 12s:
Kids Connect Sunday School is an awesome introduction to God's loving story!
Using active and creative faith-based activities, children explore the Bible's stories to learn about Jesus' love. It is a place where children connect, commit, and carry Christ's love forward, Classes for children aged 2 through grade 6 are offered year round during Sunday morning worship hours. The Nursery is open during Sunday morning services. The volunteer caregivers are available to comfort, rock, and play with each child.
There's more than just weekends for our kids! Kid's Clubs like REEL COOL 46 (grades 4-6) and KIDZONE 13 (grades 1-3) meet periodically during the school year to build friendships with each other and develop a passion for Jesus, as we watch movies, play wacky sports and games, take field trips, and participate in mission projects. Each summer we go all out at a Vacation Bible eXperience to spread God's Word to our kids and to the community; and our children's choirs are where our children come to do the extraordinary. Â

Christ United Methodist Church History
In October of 1949 the Rev. Harry N. Peelor was assigned to organize a new congregation to serve the South Hills of Pittsburgh. A charter was formed with 111 members in April 1950. In 1952 a small church was built on our current site. The present sanctuary was erected in 1959 with the original building becoming an education wing.
In 1975 Dr. William Boyd Grove was appointed as the second senior pastor. Five years later he was elected a Bishop.
Dr. Brian K. Bauknight became the third senior pastor in 1980. In 1994 the Christian Life Center, classrooms and music wing were added as the congregation and its ministries grew.
Additional senior pastors:
2007-2017 - Rev. R. Duane Thompson July 2017 - Rev. Chris Morgan (Interim Senior Pastor)
With five services of various worship styles, Christ Church is a leading church in United Methodism. Membership of the congregation is approximately 3,200 persons representing about 1,900 households.

Grant me, O Lord...
Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know,to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights Thee most, to value what is precious in Thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee. Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men; but to discern with a true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all, always to inquire what is the good pleasure of Thy will.
