- Our catholic and reformed faith has a prophetic message for Christians today. For more than a generation now, churches have purposely abandoned tradition with the idea that this was necessary to attract believers in the modern world. In a replay of ancient iconoclasm, crosses and pictures were torn down and religious symbols were discouraged. Talk of sin was muted. The focus came to be whatever might attract a larger crowd. Religion became another consumer product. The inordinate desire for what is new, coupled with the abandonment of the received faith, has had negative consequences. Much that is called Christianity today is not very Christian in any biblical or historic sense. As one commentator said, "She who marries the spirit of the age becomes a widow in the next generation." This is why St. Paul told the Thessalonians, "Stand fast , and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our epistle" (Thessalonians 2:15). We call for a return to the "faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude1: 3).

General Info
An Anglican is a Christian whose belief and practice is rooted in the Bible, guided by the teachings and tradition of the early Christian Fathers, and structured by the traditional Book of Common Prayer. We are Anglican because we worship in the Anglican tradition with its roots in the Book of Common Prayer. We are Catholic because we believe and practice the universal or Catholic faith of the church that has been handed down to us from the time of the Apostles.We welcome new members, and we invite you to join us one Sunday. We hope that you will enjoy our community, be enriched by our worship, and interested in joining us.
