About 250 people attended the Steel City Church's first service Sunday in the the Altar Bar nightclub, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reported. The 6 p.m. service, held on the empty dance floor, is a cross between coffee house and talk show, the newspaper said. Advertisement Of the five churches Pastor Damian Williams has started nationwide, this is the first urban, multicultural setting, Williams told the newspaper. He said the church will open early for congregants to watch Steelers football games. "We want to create a new form to break down barriers that have kept people from connecting with God," he said. "We chose the Strip because every kind of person goes there and relates to it."
