Travelers Church exists to be a praying faith family on mission multiplying disciples of Jesus!

This happens through our mission to Connect Jesus to Every Journey! 

Throughout Jesus’ life, we see Him in passionate and patient pursuit of people, eating with others who would never have become reconnected with the Father through religion. In a heavily ex-Catholic city, we emphasize hearing directly from Jesus and experiencing Him as the Great High Priest.

We approach relationships from an angle of gospel hospitality and practical service, becoming good news for the opportunity to share the best news with everyone.

Wes and Lexi knew of their call to church planting many years ago. In 2019, Pittsburgh caught their eye because it was last on NAMB’s list of Send cities. Pittsburgh had the least amount of active church plants, the greatest failure rate of church plants, and the highest population to church ratio.

Pittsburgh also moved from only 7% of people unsure of their beliefs in 2000 to nearly half unsure by 2020, making it the fastest growth of irreligion anywhere in North America during this time.

These challenges lined up with Wes and Lexi’s calling perfectly. Statistics brought them to Pittsburgh in 2020, but it is a great love for the people that truly established them in Pittsburgh for the long haul.

Since planting Travelers Church with only 3 adult followers of Jesus, a couple dozen people have come to faith in Christ. Several thousand have gained respect for our reputation as a church that is a safe place both for those who have never been taught the truth of the Scriptures or been in a church and also for those who have history with Jesus but have never been discipled and learned how to live on mission.

The top two reason people call Travelers home today is a genuine sense of a loving family and because of our missional focus.
