Agapé Church South Hills

...is the vision of Pastor Christopher Helms and wife Jennifer. In June 1997, the Lord gave them a desire to establish a new church in Pittsburgh. Finally, in February 2001, ACSH was born as the Helms family moved to the city and began holding regular services in their home. Since then, the congregation has steadily grown and is now meeting at their new location (1462 Brookline Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA).  Click on the "About ACSH" tab to access our weekly schedule. 

Check us out! You'll enjoy great music, relevant preaching, uplifting worship, children's ministries, and much more! We look forward to meeting you soon...

What do you mean ... Agapé?

Agapé, the Greek rendering of the word "love", describes the purest and most powerful form of love: God's self-giving redemptive love for sinners. Unlike self-seeking love, Agapé embraces the lovely as well as the unlovely. Of the trio faith, hope, and love, (I Cor. 13:13), the greatest of these is Agapé, God's divinely expressed love for man. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

Profile:

Agapé Church South Hills is eventful, intriguing, and life-changing. The weekly services are meaningful, complete with inspirational worship and relevant preaching. The people are friendly and believe God should be a centerpiece in their lives.

Agapé Church South Hills is not a traditional church. We believe in ancient truths, not ancient methods. We are vibrant, contemporary, and interesting. Our philosophy contends religion should be full of "freshness not deadness."

Agapé Church South Hills welcomes all visitors. Whether you're young or old, single or married, there's a special place for you at ACSH. Children, teenagers, and college students are also welcome. We invite you to check us out!

Take a fresh approach to religion!
