Cranberry Community U. P. Church is a place where the peace of God is felt...a place where the people of God come together to worship, learn and play as a family and then be disbursed with the spiritual power of God to witness in the world beyond these walls. We are glad you have visited our website, but even better would be to have you visit in person! 
 
Our Vision 
It is the vision of Cranberry Community United Presbyterian Church to be a community of faith called to be disciples of Jesus Christ, to be wise stewards of the manifold gifts of God and to be courageous witnesses to God’s love for all people. We will enthusiastically proclaim God’s love, grace and hope; faithfully nurture one another through God’s Word; generously reach out with God’s care to those in need; and eagerly reveal the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in this congregation, the wider community and to the ends of the earth.
 
Empowered by God’s Spirit and truth, we are committed to:
  • Celebrating God’s holiness through worship

  • Discovering God’s living Word through discipleship

  • Sharing God’s redeeming grace through witness

  • Reflecting God’s unfailing love through service
     


Meet Our Pastor...

The Reverend Dr. James M. Moran

August 1, 2007 began a new chapter in the ministry and history of Cranberry Community United Presbyterian Church.  We are pleased to introduce our new Senior Pastor, the Rev. Dr. James M. Moran.  Dr. Moran is a native of Pittsburgh.  He graduated from Gateway Senior High School in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.  Prior to entering the ministry, he worked in industry as a machinist for the Mine Safety Appliances Company.  He received a B.A. degree in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh, and took his theological training at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts.  While at Gordon-Conwell, he was awarded a Byington Fellowship in the Theology Department.  He earned a doctoral degree at the Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi.

He has served congregations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois since his ordination in 1979 and has been pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City, Ohio since 1993.  His non-professional interests include family activities, reading, history, politics, films with intriguing and complicated plots, fishing, and music, especially classical, jazz, Christian, and classic rock-and-roll. He is a lifelong, unabashed Steeler fan.

Jim is married to Lynn Ann Moran, who is a pharmacist and is currently studying for her doctoral degree at Ohio State University.
