First Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church

First Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church has served the Pittsburgh community since its founding, rooted in the teachings of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Our congregation believes in the Triune God and the redemptive power of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, offering eternal life through faith. We prioritize biblical inerrancy and the Holy Spirit's role in sustaining faith, providing resources like the Book of Concord for theological education. Our ministries extend to campus outreach, international student support, ESL programs, and specialized outreach to the blind, deaf, and visually impaired communities. With a focus on worship, Bible study, and community service, we aim to fulfill Christ's command to share the Gospel through both word and action.

Our campus includes historic facilities that host regular services, daily devotions, and renovation projects to better serve congregants. Led by Senior Pastor Rev. Benjamin Janssen and Associate Pastor Rev. Eric Andr, our team combines theological expertise with practical ministry experience. We maintain transparency through publications like The Pittsburgh Lutheran newsletter and daily devotional materials. Our commitment to 'Witness, Mercy, Life Together' guides both local and global outreach initiatives, including partnerships with Lutheran Student Fellowship and Missions of Mercy.
