Why It Matters To Tree of Life
Moves people from interest to participation across worship, care, and neighborhood service.
Ministry at Tree of Life
We do not view ministry as filling slots on a schedule. We see it as participation in the life of Christ, the care of the church, and the transformation of the community around us.
Why We Serve
Tree of Life has learned that healthy ministry is measured by more than attendance or activity. We care about relationships formed, people strengthened, needs met, and trust built in the neighborhood.
How We Serve
We want volunteers and leaders who can listen well, show up consistently, and serve with humility. Ministry here should be relational, Spirit-led, and responsive to the actual context of Brookline and Pittsburgh.
What We Value
We value worship, prayer, hospitality, justice, and practical care. We believe ministry can be both organic and structured, flexible and dependable, local and deeply spiritual.
Ways to Get Involved
There are opportunities to serve through worship, hospitality, children, community outreach, food advocacy, event support, and other hands-on ministries that help people feel seen and cared for.

Small Groups
Small groups are one of the clearest ways to move from attending to belonging. Groups vary throughout the year and may include book studies, Bible studies, Bible art journaling, prayer groups, art groups, and fellowship groups.
They exist to help people build relationships, grow spiritually, and stay encouraged in everyday life.
Stay Connected
Tree of Life uses Church Center for event signups, giving, and group participation. It is one of the simplest ways to stay connected to what is active right now.
Get Connected
If you want to get connected, start by attending, building relationships, joining a small group, and talking with leadership about where you can serve effectively.
