The Parlor is a smaller and more intimate setting where the 8:30 a.m. Sunday worship service is held as well as church fellowship activities and adult education classes. We also invite anyone to use this as a room of refuge for those who would like to hear the 10:30 a.m. service outside of the Sanctuary. The Narthex is a welcoming reception area before you enter the sanctuary where members and visitors will gather before and after the service to share fellowship. Recently renovated, it now offers comfortable couches, information kiosks, and updated handicapped ramps so the first floor is totally accessible for people with disabilities. The Church office is the center of GPC administrative activities and the place to find answers to many of your questions from our Office Manager, Jennifer Zankey. The hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 3:30 pm, closed on Fridays. Please call 412-486-8400 for assistance. King’s Hall is our large multipurpose room which includes a stage and the attached church kitchen. You can find almost any activity here from pot luck dinners or a talent show to the meeting of a Sunday School class. Our church has a large professional kitchen which is used by all the groups in the church. This picture shows our youth group as they help prepare and serve dinner for a Valentine’s Day Dinner. Here is our Director of Music and Organist in her office, surrounded by sheet music for the chancel choir, bell choir, and organ. Our choir room is the place where our chancel choir practices as well as the place where they find their choir robes and music! Our sanctuary reflects the simple yet beautiful style of colonial architecture. Beyond the communion table in the front of the sanctuary is the area for the choir and the beautiful pipe organ. The bowling alley is in the basement of the church and has provided endless hours of entertainment for all ages. Part of this unique experience is that everyone takes a turn at replacing the duck pins and returning the balls! Since our parking lots are at the back of our church, our main entrance is also at the back of the church near the handicapped ramp. As you enter, there will be church members there to greet you and answer any questions. Our prayer garden is a place of peace and serenity with a meditation circle, places to sit and a beautiful water fountain. Members can buy a brick for the prayer garden with inscriptions to honor or memorialize a special person. Pastor Emily Cooper's office is just past the main office and the Conference Room. She encourages us to stop by for a visit or make an appointment to talk about GPC or your concerns. This small but well-supplied kitchen (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, dishes, etc.) is adjacent to the parlor and is used to help host many of our fellowship activities. One of the most important jobs for the kitchenette is to provide the Sunday morning coffee and tea! Members and non-members can rent the parlor and kitchenette for special events. Our Business Manager is very busy with administrative functions within our church. The second floor balcony surrounds three sides of the sanctuary and offers a good overall view of the worship service. The bell in our bell tower was found in an abandoned Methodist Episcopal church in Tionesta, PA and brought to our church to be installed in 1948. Our Property Manager’s office is in this room on the ground floor. However, you won’t find him there since he does a variety of jobs most anywhere in the church building or on the grounds! Our church offers The Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council office space for their programs in the North Hills area.
