Honoring our 2025 Legends

Each year, Pittsburgh F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is honored to recognize a powerful group of individuals who are not only inspiring but transformational. Our 2025 honorees are living proof that faithful stewardship, outstanding leadership, and unwavering commitment to unity can break down barriers and build bridges that bring communities together under one vision—ONE CHURCH.

These remarkable leaders are not content with maintaining the status quo. They are actively shifting atmospheres, healing divides, and paving the way for deeper connection across cultures, denominations, and generations. Their service reflects the very heart of God—uniting His people as one body, just as Christ is returning for one church, without spot or wrinkle.

From education and the arts to ministry, civic engagement, and beyond, this year’s honorees demonstrate that when passion meets purpose, transformation follows. Their stories are testaments to perseverance, innovation, and the power of vision anchored in faith. They remind us that true leadership is not measured solely by achievement, but by impact—how we love, lift, and lead others toward something greater than ourselves.

As we celebrate these bridge-builders, we also turn our hearts toward the future. Their example challenges us all to be intentional about raising up the next generation—to mentor, support, and empower others to carry the torch of unity forward.

To honor these individuals is to reaffirm our collective commitment: to build, to serve, and to reflect the Kingdom of God here on earth. We thank our 2025 Legends for walking boldly, leading faithfully, and reminding us that together, we are better. Together, we are ONE CHURCH.
