About

Church of the Resurrection was founded in 2002 in Tampa, Florida. At present, COTR has about 175 members of all ages and walks of life. We are a church community worshiping God–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–as Anglican Christians in the Catholic tradition.

We are a faith community centered around sacred Scripture, the practices of the Church dating back to the earliest days, and the Sacraments–especially the Holy Mysteries of the Eucharist. We believe in the love of God the Father that was great enough for him to send Jesus, God the Son, to this world to be born, crucified, and to conquer death in the Resurrection. We believe in the power of God the Holy Spirit to transform us and conform us to the mind of Christ.

We care for and reach out to each other and to our community. Our Good Samaritan Guild offers opportunities to serve each other in times of need–bringing food to those in our community who are unable to feed themselves, helping out parents with young children or those who need help maintaining their homes, caring for the homebound and the bereaved. We also assist local schools in raising supplies in the lead-up to the school year.

We would be blessed by your presence as we meet in worship. For visitors, particularly those who come from a non-liturgical background, many aspects of Anglican worship may seem unfamiliar. We offer a brief guide to help you understand and appreciate why we worship as we do. We believe that the sanctity and reverence of our worship will bring you into a closer and eternal relationship with God.

St. Vincent of Lérins
“Now in the Catholic Church itself we take the greatest care to hold that which has been believed everywhere, always and by all. That is truly and properly ‘Catholic,’ as is shown by the very force and meaning of the word, which comprehends everything almost universally.”
