WHO WE ARE
The Anglican Church of the Transfiguration is a growing Anglican Church parish in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. We are located in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. Our parish was formed over 100 years ago in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. We left the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and The Episcopal Church of The United States and united with the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh and the province of The Anglican Church of North America; part of the world-wide Anglican communion. We believe the Holy Bible is uniquely inspired by God and support this Holy Scripture to be as such. Its teachings are paramount to our worship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is inspirational to us and we pray that others will read it and also find it to be so. What better lesson is there than: Paul's first letter to the people of Corinth Chapter 13 verses 1-13 If I speak in tongues of men and angels,but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or clanging symbal If I have the gift of prophecy and fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing If I give all that I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I am nothing Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking. It is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease,where there are tongues, they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child When I became a man I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face . Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain; faith, hope and love BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE! It is our mission, through prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to seek and share God's Word and to spread the love of Christ to our community. |

The Church of The Transfiguration in Clairton, PA had a beautiful hand painted mural of "The Transfiguration" behind the alter. Lil Gergley and her family have been searching for a gift to our new church to honor John Gergley and Joseph and Winifred Hall (Parents of Lil). They played an instrumental part in establishing the foundation of the church in Clairton. It was decided that a picture of "The Transfiguration" was needed in our new church building.
The Gergley family donated this picture in loving memory of John Gergley and Joseph & Winifred Hall
