The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh is a family of Anglican churches primarily serving the greater Pittsburgh area, with additional congregations in other locations. The private company is based in Pittsburgh. Affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and the GAFCON movement, the diocese traces its roots to 1758 and formally organized in 1865. It separated from the Episcopal Church in the early 2000s to uphold traditional Anglican doctrine and biblical faithfulness. The diocese emphasizes unity without uniformity, allowing diverse worship styles ranging from traditional liturgy using the Book of Common Prayer to contemporary services. Governance follows historic Anglican patterns with bishops, priests, and deacons, and shared decision-making between clergy and laity through councils at diocesan and parish levels. The diocese prioritizes prayerfulness, relational ministry, kingdom-focused mission, and operational excellence. Key initiatives include supporting and growing congregations, planting new churches, and raising future clergy. Comprehensive resources are provided for clergy and parishes, including governance documents, compensation guides, safe church policies, ordination discernment processes, and administrative forms. The diocese offers support for those discerning a call to ordained ministry, with structured guidance and evaluation procedures. Communication is maintained through newsletters, social media, and a bishop’s blog.
