The Audio-Visual Resource Library is a Resource Center for media for Christian Formation jointly managed by four judicatories: The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, The Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, The Pennsylvania Southeast Conference of the United Church of Christ, and The Philadelphia Baptist Association. Each judicatory determines how they will relate to AVRL by way of membership. Other churches may rent catalog materials for a fee plus handling and postage.

The Ministry Resource Center and the Audio-Visual Resource Library are now online! Click Here to search for Books, Curricula or Videotapes.   Please forward requests for materials to the Audio-Visual Resource Library . If we don't have what you're looking for, we will help you search.

The Library is open Monday to Friday 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Call the AVRL Library Director at (215) 627-6434 or e-mail for a Membership Application. AVRL will mail its resources to you and provides for their return, a great convenience to clergy and educators.

The AVRL is located at Church House of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, 4th and Locust Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19106, and shares space with the Ministry Resource Center on the first floor. Plan to visit the Ministry Resource Center. We invite visitors to peruse the AVRL Collection and come in for consultation and recommendations for media events.
