Go to church with IFA on August 27!
Visiting a church is intimidating, and even just getting there can be hard. So this Sunday, IFA will have students who attend many local churches meet you at CUC black chairs and take you with them!

First Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church
Lutheran Student Fellowship (now LCMS)
11 am
“Imagine a church that is both evangelical – proclaiming the free forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus Christ – and sacramental, centering its spiritual life in the regenerating waters of baptism and the real presence of Christ in Holy Communion. Imagine further a church that is strongly grounded on Scripture [with a] comprehensive, intellectually rigorous and imminently orthodox theological system. Imagine a worship service that features both strong preaching and the historic liturgy.” —Gene Veith
531 N Neville St 0.4

2700 Jane Street 2.5
Jonah’s Call
10 am
At Jonah’s Call, we worship in an ancient tradition which assumes that our hearts and minds need to be transformed daily, weekly, and completely because, as beautiful as life can be at times, it can also damage us in astounding ways. In response to the challenges that we face throughout the week, we take music, prayer, Scripture, preaching, communion, and a community meal, and create an experience of worship that allows us to move beyond being mere consumers to becoming participants in worship.

Shadyside Presbyterian Church
CCO Delta? Shadyside campus ministry
11am
The Shadyside Presbyterian Church is a traditional and winsome community of faith. We take very seriously the theological depth, beauty, and gravitas of Christianity’s tradition. This is especially true in our worship services. Worship at Shadyside offers spiritual refreshment in a traditional liturgical setting. We believe that this great tradition should make us loving, relational, and very devoted to the mission of Jesus Christ in the community and world around us. The church is centered in the grace of Jesus Christ, and we talk about that a lot. Since we are all clear about that common center, we spend little time here worrying about the boundary issues that exclude people. Our church holds together just fine by its center. Join us Sundays for our area college students’ Bible study, Donut Society, at 9:30am and/or worship at 11am.
