On Saturday, October 10, 2026, Jim Corbett and the 1976 Championship Team returned to Pittsburgh for the 50th Anniversary celebration. As Team Captain, Jim was honored and celebrated, along with his teammates.


"We realized early in the preparation for the big weekend that God had a plan!" Jim shared.



"Asking the Spirit to guide our words and actions was calming. The most powerful part of the entire experience was realizing this would be our last reunion together. How little had to be spoken as we all knew. How much God can do through us in patient silence! The love and respect we all hope to enjoy was there. Because we all, in our own ways, knew it was 'ALL ABOUT HIM!'"
