North Braddock Historic Churches

Black Gospel & Baptist

North Braddock and neighboring Braddock host African American congregations known for dynamic preaching, call-and-response worship, and spirited choirs. Many lead neighborhood outreach along the Braddock Avenue corridor—mentoring youth, hosting community meals, and creating safe spaces that reflect the Mon Valley’s resilience.

#TrackRecordOfFaith
“Well, one of the reasons why God will allow us to go through things at time is because he wants to develop our faith by building a track record of faithfulness with us. Every ordeal that you have faced, every challenge that you have overcome is a gift from God to help you build a consistent track record of God's faithfulness and goodness in your life. And the reason why he does that is this, is because as you continue to trust in him and as you continue to see him come through time and time again, your faith grows, and now you have bigger faith for bigger breakthrough.”

#StartWithJesus
“And the best place for anybody to start is by starting a relationship with this God who wants to move on your behalf. If you don't have a relationship with Jesus, I want you to follow the prompts on the screen and reach out to us so someone from our team can help you connect with God so that you can see this breakthrough faith start happening in your life because the greatest miracle of all is the miracle of a soul that goes from darkness to life by receiving Jesus Christ as the forgiver of their past and the leader to their future.”

#WorshipIsWarfare
“Praise not only follows the victory, but it precedes the victory as well. And I wanna challenge you right now. God is waiting to set an ambush for you against the obstacles and insurmountable odds that you're facing. He is waiting in heaven to shift things on your behalf, and the thing that he is waiting for you to do is to prioritize worship. Open up your mouth. Praise his name with a loud voice and watch him work on your behalf because worship is a weapon, worship is warfare, and worship is a response to who God is,”

#PastDoesntDefineYou
“So what does freedom look like? Listen. Freedom isn't pretending that the past didn't happen. Quite the con contrary, freedom is refusing to let the past determine your future. The past happened. Things that you did, things that were done to you, it happened. It was real, but your past is not the the definition of your future because Jesus wants you to walk in that freedom. And when we understand that, we understand that we're not called to walk through this life alone. If we're going to grow and we're going to have strong roots, growth happens within community.”
53s
#IntentionalMaturity
“Spiritual maturity has nothing to do with your age. Not a thing because I've met some very, much older people that are very spiritually immature. I've met some younger individuals that are very spiritually immature. We think that maturity comes with age, and it does not. It comes with intentionality. Time and maturity are two different things. The question isn't how long have you been a Christian. The better question is how much have you allowed Jesus to change you since you've been a Christian? How much have you allowed the living God, our savior, to change you since you began following him? That's the question.”
52s
#FreeInChrist
“You are truly free. You are fully free. Jesus didn't save you so you could become a better person at carrying the chains that you're in. He did not save you so that you could get better at carrying a weight that you were never called to carry. He did not die on a cross so that you could carry a heavy burden. He carried it for you. But we as Montvaliers, me as Pittsburgers, we're really good at at holding on to our stuff. We're really good at carrying the burdens. We're really good at just pushing through and and white knuckling it. But that's not what Jesus is calling us to do.”
44s
#ShareYourStory
“You have something that someone else needs. Your story. It's no one else's. It's yours. Your story of how God has moved in your life, is moving in your life, and is leading your life. Your story is powerful, and people need it. People can debate doctrine with you. They can debate theology. They cannot debate your changed and transformed life. They can't. They can't debate your experiences with Jesus, with his church, with the people that have been called to walk this journey with you.”
38s
#KnownAndNeeded
“God wants you to be known. God wants you to know others. God wants to use your story to draw somebody else out of something they might have been stuck in or are stuck in. God wants to use somebody else in your life to get you out of what you may be stuck in or were, to get you beyond your past. We gather not just to know each other, but we gather because we know that we need each other.”
39s
#ReceiveYourFuture
“You're not defined by your past. You're not defined by your present. You're defined by have you received the future that Jesus bought for you on the cross. Do you have a day, a time, a place where you've received Jesus as the forgiver of your past and the leader into your future? If you don't have that day, that time, let us know. We wanna pray with you. We wanna help you start this journey, and it's such an exciting one.”
70s
#VictoryInChrist
“``Jesus created us to be overcomers. He created us for victory. And when we stand up against the world and don't be and we're not ruled by what the world says is popular and what the world says is acceptable and what the world says is tolerant, no. We're offensive and we're moving forward, And we're zealous about the things of God. We're zealous of who he is here. See, those who battle, overcome the battle against indifference and compromise and self reliance will receive a special reward. That's right. They enjoy a place enthroned with Jesus. And you can only become an overcomer if you overcome. Overcome all those things, indifference, in compromise, in all of those things that Jesus kept writing about over and over and over. There's nothing worse than a lukewarm Christian. They have too much of Jesus to be happy in the world, and they have too much of the world to be happy in Jesus.”
