HOLY EUCHARIST, SUNDAYS, 11:30AM
819 WASHINGTON AVE. MONACA, PA

The Church of the Incarnation is a new Episcopal congregation in Beaver County. At Incarnation, we're committed to offering the riches of an ancient faith, embodying God's glorious welcome to all in Christ, and preaching Jesus, week in and week out.

​

THE RICHES OF AN ANCIENT FAITH

In the Episcopal tradition, our worship follows a beaten path: we pray words that have been prayed before and cultivate habits that Christians have been practicing for centuries. We cling to Christ through the sacramental life of the Church, the beauty and stability of the liturgy, the bedrock of the creeds, and the Church Year. All these things make the Episcopal Church a distinct doorway into the Christian life in our time and place, preserving and passing on the riches of an ancient faith as we attend to the ever-present and sanctifying work of the Spirit.

 

GOD'S GLORIOUS WELCOME TO ALL IN CHRIST

The Episcopal Church welcomes all people into the sacramental life of the Church purely on the basis of God’s glorious welcome of sinners in Christ, rather than on any other ostensible qualification. At Incarnation, we are committed to embodying God's radical hospitality here in Beaver County. We desire to be a harbor of spiritual safety for all who are yearning for good news and the deep belonging and abundant life that comes with it.

​

PREACHING JESUS

The Episcopal priest Robert Farrer Capon once wrote, "Jesus didn't come to teach the teachable; he didn't come to improve the improvable; he didn't come to reform the reformable. He came to raise the dead."

Preaching is all about Jesus (or it should be!). And since Jesus' work is not to teach the teachable, improve the improvable, or reform the reformable, true preaching isn't about those things either. It's about raising the dead (and other astonishing things): feeding the hungry, comforting the afflicted, strengthening the weary, healing the brokenhearted, and setting the oppressed free. At Incarnation, we preach the good news of God in Christ from the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and anticipate Christ's gracious presence among us—working his resurrection life in our midst.
