A brief introduction to

Our Vision and Values

Disciples of Jesus | Pittsburgh, PA

We want to love the LORD our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbors as ourselves. This includes laying down our lives for one another, as our Lord did for us, as well as proactively loving our neighbors.
We believe the sacred Scriptures intend to lead its readers to the living Word, Jesus. We discover His will for us through personal and corporate study and apply New Testament commands within our community.
We strive to maintain a deep sense of dependence on God’s Holy Spirit both individually and collectively. We believe that without the Spirit of God, there is no spiritual life. We actively seek His presence and His guidance within scriptural parameters.
We realize our deep need for personal communion with God and intercession for others. We pray often in our scheduled meetings and at other times.
We want to fulfill our responsibility in sharing the Good News that Jesus is King and to make disciples of Jesus.
We believe in the blessing of accountability and fellowship with each other while simultaneously remaining receptive to the input and example of those in the broader body of Christ. As we speak into each other's lives on subjects like: finances, vocations, investments, attire, ministries and home life, we are finding that it works well to live in close proximity. Although this type of accountability takes effort we believe it to be beneficial and crucial to the life of disciples.
We seek to live at peace with other followers of Jesus. When possible we seek to build relationships and live in unity with other Christians who endeavor to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. We identify with the historic faith and the pilgrim church.
Those of us who have children seek to raise them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. We believe parents are responsible to choose environments and influences that will encourage faith in God and obedience to His will.
