Charles Eberline on June 10th, 2026:

"Mt. Lebanon Church Now Southminster," Pittsburgh Press, Saturday, February 20, 1965, 4, Newspapers.com, https://www.newspapers.com/image/148991627.
"Mt. Lebanon Presbyterian Church this week changed its name to Southminster Presbyterian Church. Its new charter from Allegheny County Common Pleas Court was asked as the result of the merger of the Presbyterian and United Presbyterian denominations in 1958. The denomination has two churches in Mt. Lebanon which had similar names."


Jim Stettner on June 10th, 2026:

Updated through online information from Charles Eberline [June 7, 2026]: At that time [1954], the corporate name of the church was Mt. Lebanon Presbyterian Church (Mt. Lebanon, not Mount Lebanon, is the official name of the municipality). In 1965, the congregation changed the corporate name of the church to Southminster Presbyterian Church.
