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.

pantry, clothing and small household items, holiday appeals, Dollar Energy

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.
