Good Shepherd Lutheran Church History
Good Shepherd was officially dedicated on September 21st
1969 following the merger of First St.Paul, South Side and Bethany Lutheran of
Pleasant Hills. First services were held at Baldwin High School until the
sanctuary was completed. The property was donated by Mrs.Elizabeth Colteryahn
who also later donated the remainder of her property to our neighbor church,
Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church. The Memorial Tower houses the bells cast for
First St. Paul in 1866.
The first pastor of Good Shepherd was Pastor Bornhoeft,
followed by Pastor Pingel in 1969 and Pastor Doellinger in 1988. Pastor Daniel
Strussenberg was installed August 19, 2001.
Approximately 200 worshippers attend the Sunday Services
with an active Sunday School program between the Services. Good Shepherd is
located just south from the City of Pittsburgh in Whitehall Borough.
Things about Pittsburgh(burgh)
Pittsburgh
is the only "burgh" in the United States with an "h". From
Pittsburgh's founding in 1758 to 1890, the h was used. In 1890, for
consistency, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names ordered all towns and
cities ending in burgh to remove the h. Though the h in burgh is
silent,
the city's residents weren't, and in 1911, the h was officially restored,
thanks to the efforts of a strong citizen's movement.
