Community Groups
First, Unitarian Church welcomes the opportunity to provide safe, attractive, well-maintained space for community groups at affordable rental fees. Please use the form below for events sponsored by groups from the greater Pittsburgh community, including meetings, presentations, classes, lectures, concerts, receptions, rehearsals, recording sessions, and annual membership meetings. Please find more information on our Space Reservations and Rentals page if you need a space for other purposes. However, we need to cover our costs for maintenance, office staff, building security, utilities, and supplies.
All events, activities, programs and rentals must adhere to the principles and values of the Unitarian Universalist Association (https://www.uua.org/beliefs/what-we-believe/principles) and to the principles and values of this church (https://www.first-unitarian-pgh.org/about-us/our-beliefs/uu-principles-and-sources/). Groups and activities that do not adhere to these principles and values may not be granted, and/or may lose, access to the facilities and/or sponsorship of First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh.”

The rental fees indicated on the form reflect a discount of approximately thirty percent (30%) of our rental fees for private events. We regret that we cannot offer any further discount for groups wishing to rent space at our church.
