MISSION

SOUTH HILLS INTERFAITH MINISTRIES is an interfaith organization actively extending God's love, with dignity and respect, to the people of the South Hills of Pittsburgh. We encourage cooperative activity among congregations of different faiths to enhance our common values, including individual work as a fulfilling vocation, family preservation, community morality, and business and institutional responsibility, as a meaningful way of life.


CURRENT PROGRAMS

Family Assistance (Food pantry, clothing and small household items, holiday appeals, Dollar Energy screening); Counseling site for Pittsburgh Pastoral Institute (individual, group, and family therapy, support); Youth Programs (Summer Recreation Programs, Early Childhood Programs, Tutoring, cross-cultural programs); Interfaith Programs (Martin Luther King, Jr. Service, Interfaith Holocaust commemoration, Interfaith dialogues, special worship).


HISTORY

SHIM began its ministry in 1968 through the efforts of local Presbyterian, Methodist, Roman Catholic and Jewish congregations. The first effort was an outreach center for youth in South Hills Village Mall. From that beginning evolved a counseling service for all ages. During the 70's and 80's changing economics called for the development of supportive programs for the lower economic level families as well as community organizing and outreach to youth. Inter-faith and inter-racial programs have been a continual part of this ministry from the first days.


PROFESSIONAL STAFF

Carol D. Popp, Executive Director; Ned Ray, Financial Administrator; Barbara Houston, Program Director; Maggie Winter, Office Manager; Kathy Ganley, Director of Youth & Volunteer Programs; Sara Birmaher, Early Childhood Program; Mike Sedlock, Family Assistance Coordinator


OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONGREGATIONAL OR INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT
