Our Stories

  Nick and I established Pittsburgh Apostolic Assembly in 2005.  We both have a burden for lost souls here in Pittsburgh—especially the young people and faculty at the colleges and universities.

 

  We held church in our home the first year while we built up the funds to rent a place to hold church services.  On February 5, 2006, we were able to have the first service outside of our home and it was at the Wyndham Garden Hotel on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.  We have been holding church services there ever since.

 

  Nick was called into the ministry at a very young age.  Since then, he felt the call to start a church in the inner city; he just didn’t know which city but he knew the Lord would reveal it when it was time.

 

  I knew when I was very young that I was going to marry a minister some day, and I have felt the call to the inner city of Pittsburgh almost since the day I was born.  In 1993, I came to college here and fell in love with the city but had to move back home to Ohio after graduating.

 

  Nick and I married in August 2003 and lived in Winter Park, Florida, because that is where the Lord needed us to be for a season of time.  Then in the summer and early fall of 2004, our area of Florida was hit with three hurricanes.  After the third hurricane, we sought the Lord on whether we were to leave Florida or if we were to stay there.  The Lord showed us that Pittsburgh was where we were needed and He told us exactly where to plant His church—the area of the University of Pittsburgh.

 

  Upon getting confirmation of the Lord’s call through our pastor and through Nick’s brother-in-law, we put our home up for sale and said our goodbyes.  We arrived here in Pittsburgh on Valentine’s Day, 2005.
