Our Story
How it all began...
It all started with cabin fever... literally. At the height of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the De los Santos family was engaged in online ministry isolated in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. Since they were away from their overpopulated home of New York City and could not stand the cabin fever any longer, they decided to visit the closest big city around: Pittsburgh.
As they wandered around the bridges, hills, and greenery of this "small big" city, they stumbled upon the Cathedral of Learning of the University of Pittsburgh, where they learned of the 31 Nationality Rooms that honor the different ethnic communities that helped build that structure. It was then that they heard God call them to reach the nations in the Steel City.
And so, after almost two decades of living in New York, they travelled to Pittsburgh to plant RiverTree Church Pittsburgh!
