Anglicanism is a Protestant Christian tradition that emerged from the practices, liturgy and identity of the Church of England following the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. It is the third-largest Protestant denomination in the world. The Anglican Church has a rich tradition of making disciples around the world and now includes some 85 million members in more than 165 countries.

Also called the Anglican Communion, the Anglican Church is made up of 40 global member provinces. The provinces are subdivided into dioceses, and the dioceses into parishes. All of the provinces are autonomous, free to make decisions in their own ways. As a C4SO parish, we belong to the province of The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).

Our Beliefs

We hold to the ancient faith that was passed down by the Apostles and practiced in the early Church. This faith was summarized in the Nicene Creed and the Apostle’s Creed.

We worship using the Book of Common Prayer, a book that includes scripture readings, prayers, and daily liturgies. Our beliefs are expressed in how we worship.

Our congregation includes members from a wide variety of Christian churches. We don’t all agree on every theological issue, but we serve one Lord, Jesus Christ and are united through one baptism into God’s family. Together we strive to life in accordance with the Scriptures by the power of the Holy Spirit.
