A Note About

St. Francis  Anglican Church

St Francis’ is a traditional Anglican church seeking both to embrace the “faith once delivered to the saints,” and to advance the Kingdom of God in the way Jesus taught His disciples.  

 We are a Catholic Church in that we believe that in Christ all believers are united. Further we embrace all that Christ has passed on to the Apostles, all things germane to the Apostolic Church and early Church. We are a Reformed Church in that we are identified with the Protestant Reformation.  In 1500’s the original jurisdiction of the Anglican Church was reestablished under the Archbishop of Canterbury.

We believe that Christ, the incarnate Son of God, came into the world first to  reveal to mankind who God is, and to redeem mankind out of his fallen condition due to sin. We believe the Bible to be true in all that it speaks, and the final authority to which we may appeal respecting doctrine and life. We further believe that the Holy Scriptures apply to all areas of life. The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Thirty-nine Articles are our formularies, our expression of what we believe the Bible to teach. By them we declare the basic faith of the Church. The Holy Eucharist is celebrated bi-weekly at our Sunday morning and Wednesday morning services. We gather for Bible Study and fellowship on Thursday evening and provide a program of Christian Education for both children and adults on Sunday morning.    We are a mission church with a vision seeking to be a faithful community expressing the life and communion of the Holy Trinity given to man through Jesus Christ in the Historic Anglican Tradition.

Regarding our website, we expect to update weekly with news affecting traditional Anglicans, and commentaries regarding current issues of faith and life. New links and resources will be added as we find or create them. Our forum provides opportunity for discussion concerning the issues of faith for today. We pray that you will be blessed as you spend time here using the various resources to explore the Christian Faith and the Anglican Church
