Planting Churches by Uncovering the Kingdom
We’re discovering what Jesus is doing in the river valleys and hills of Western Pennsylvania. Join us.
Multiply WPA of the Christian & Missionary Alliance supports and partners with church plants cooperating with God in Gospel proclamation and demonstration in their own neighborhoods and the nations. We do this by:
Developing Emerging Leaders
We cultivate environments for ordinary people to encounter Jesus and grow in mission.
Proclaiming The Gospel
We’re announcing the good news of Jesus to the communities in Western Pennsylvania’s hills and river valleys.
Demonstrating The Kingdom
We creatively and wholistically serve our communities, especially those at the margins.
Locally & Globally Partnered
We’re part of a regional family of churches in WPA and a global missionary movement called The C&MA.
Rooted in Revival
We’re part of a 125+ year old prayer, missionary, and deeper life movement in the Pittsburgh region.
