Pittsburgh Lutheran United Ministries (PLUM) Congregations United In Christ's Service
Pittsburgh Lutheran United Ministries is a cooperative ministry comprised of seven 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 6 full member congregations, with a 7th participating in a 1-year trial basis. The Ministry was founded by Rev. Beth Siefert and Rev. John Gropp in 2004. Recently, Vicar Melba Dibble and Rev. Paul Koch have been added to the pastoral 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 pastorless 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.
