"there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ...does not cry: 'Mine!'"

We are an Anglican Faith Community who believe that loving God looks like active engagement, loving others looks like service, and loving one another looks like community.

We are learning to practice the values of:

  • Obedience to the teaching of Jesus.  We don’t want to shape our response to the gospel on the basis of our daily experience, but rather to shape our daily experience of life on the basis of the gospel. That requires a ferocious commitment to being honest with God, ourselves and each other.
  • Daily conversion & congruence.  So that my inner movements are aligned with my thinking, my thinking is aligned with my action, and my action is aligned with the teaching and commands of Jesus.
  • Generosity of spirit. Choosing to think the best of God and one another, especially when things get difficult. Practicing love in all its forms both outwardly and inwardly. Practicing hospitality.
  • A common life.  Church is not where we go, but who we are. Hospitality and spending time just to be together. Our spiritual growth depends on each other.
  • Faithfulness and stability. Love isn’t easy, except in our daydreams. We are sincere but we are able to fail one another too. And so with our commitment to love one another, we can also sometimes feel tension, hurt, disappointment or distance. Practicing stability means we don’t flee from one another and staying in one place gives us time to gracefully learn to see others as God sees them.

We  meet together for worship, for learning, for service to others and just to share life together.

  • Worship: Sundays 10:30 am, at 1311 State Avenue in Coraopolis (the intersection of State Avenue and Maple Street).
  • Dinner and Discussion: Wednesdays at 6:00pm. Generally 6-8 week topics. Sometimes we’re at the church, other times we are meeting in our homes. Give us a call or check out events on our Facebook page.
  • Service to the Community: Days and times vary. The Coraopolis Community Development Foundation is our primary vehicle for serving our community. See www.coryfoundation.org
