FALLBROOK, CALIFORNIA: Christ Church begins anew -- again -- in own space
Father Don Kroeger has led Christ Church in Fallbrook since it was still St. John's Episcopal; after breaking away from the local Episcopal Diocese and joining a new national Anglican association, the congregation has lost its longtime home -- but is now rebuilding in a new location
Christ Church is welcoming a new building for a new era

The Fallbrook congregation, formerly known as St. John's Anglican Church, has been conducting services at Living Waters Christian Fellowship Assembly of God Church for the past two years. The church began sharing space with Living Waters after legal battles over property rights and organizational authority allowed the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego to take over the former church property (which is now operating as St. John's Episcopal).
The members at St. John's Anglican had previously voted to secede from The Episcopal Church, which is the North American branch of the global Anglican Union, and reaffiliated with a more theologically traditional conservative archdiocese in Africa. Disagreements regarding homosexuality and biblical authority are at the core of an ongoing dispute between the Episcopal Church and hundreds of its congregations, as well as Anglican bishops in other countries.
