===Religion=== Four churches are located within the borough: Faith [[United Methodist Church|Methodist]] Church, Christ Church Fox Chapel, Fox Chapel [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] Church, and Good Shepherd [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] Church. In 1953 a group of families living in the Fox Chapel area began to worship together at Shady Side Academy; the congregation became Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church, located at the intersection of Fox Chapel Road and Field Club Road. The Rev. Bickford Lang served as the first pastor. The congregation was officially organized in October 1953 with 339 charter members. The chapel was erected in December 1953, and worship services began to be held on the site of the present church. The church facility has grown to include a Christian Education building, atrium, fellowship hall and a Georgian sanctuary. The Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church has been led by five senior pastors since its founding.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foxchapelpresby.com|title=Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church|website=foxchapelpresby.com|access-date=April 25, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080307123140/http://www.foxchapelpresby.com/|archive-date=March 7, 2008}}</ref> Chabad Fox Chapel - The Jewish Center, opened in 2002 and serves the entire Fox Chapel Area with a Jewish community center, Jewish day camp, Hebrew school and full adult education program with no membership fees.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chabadfoxchapel.com/templates/articlecco.html?AID=113696|title=Our Synogogue|website=www.chabadfoxchapel.com|access-date=April 25, 2018|archive-date=March 20, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320201800/http://www.chabadfoxchapel.com/templates/articlecco.html?AID=113696|url-status=live}}</ref> Adat Shalom, located on Guys Run Road in Indiana Township, serves approximately 240 Jewish families from the Fox Chapel area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adat Shalom |url=http://www.goadatshalom.org/ |url-status=deviated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030611020046/http://www.goadatshalom.org/ |archive-date=2003-06-11 |access-date=2024-09-23 |website=Goadat Shalom}}</ref>
