The Organization
The Israel Trust of the Anglican Church (ITAC) has been involved in various ministries in Jerusalem and other parts of the Holy Land since the early 19th century. Today we operate from four locations: Christ Church Centre and The Prophets Street compound in Jerusalem, Beit Immanuel in Jaffa, and Beit Bracha in Migdal near the Sea of Galilee.
Historical Perspective
Christ Church Centre was established in 1838 inside the Old City near the Jaffa Gate and was the first Protestant entity in the Middle East. A heritage center, also located in two other historic ITAC buildings, explains to our many visitors, both locals and tourists, the enormous part that Christians, especially ITAC, played in the history of the Holy Land.
Present Situation & Future Vision
Christ Church Centre is currently the home of four different congregations — English, Hebrew, Romanian and Filipino. Christ Church also runs a guesthouse, coffee shop and bookshop. Beit Bracha is ITAC's newest center, a beautiful prayer/retreat center located in Migdal overlooking the Sea of Galilee.
