About Us - Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sheraden

Pittsburgh Lutheran United Ministries (PLUM)

Congregations United In Christ's Service

Pittsburgh Lutheran United Ministries (PLUM) is a cooperative ministry comprised of ten ELCA congregations in the Pittsburgh Area.  

The purpose of PLUM is to provide pastoral support and joint activities shared by the member congregations. PLUM currently has ten full-member congregations.  The Ministry was founded by Rev. Beth Siefert and Rev. John Gropp in 2004. 

One amazing benefit of PLUM is that, when a pastor is sick, goes on vacation or retires, the pastoral care continues, un-interrupted, since we have multiple pastors and staff!

 

The member congregations share in financial support of the pastoral staff and in joint worship/outreach/fellowship activities - yet they maintain their independence and individuality as they minister to those in their respective communities.  PLUM provides a means by which small, struggling or pastor-less congregations can continue to exist and minister to their communities.  It is hoped that PLUM can be a model for other churches who need a way to survive, while rebuilding their congregations.

 

PLUM has enough pastors that we can easily add more churches into our organization! 

If your church:

  • Does NOT have a pastor, or

  • Your pastor is planning to RETIRE, or

  • You have an INTERIM pastor...

       ...then please consider joining PLUM! 

 

If you're reading this, then PLUM might be the miracle that you've been praying for!
