Holy Trinity Anglican Church
is a Parish of the Anglican Mission in America (AMiA) and adheres strictly to "the faith once delivered to the saints", revealed by God to His people, specifically in the person of His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Holy Scriptures. For a history of this Parish click HERE.
Our adherence to historic Anglicanism is evident in our worship, teaching, preaching and fellowship. We are grateful for our bonds with other orthodox Anglicans, including the Reformed Episcopal Church (our roots), and pray for a re-alignment of historic Anglicans in North America and a new measure of unity that would be honoring to our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Faith of Holy Trinity Anglican Church
The English Reformation, unlike the movements led by Luther, Calvin, and others continental reformers, sought not so much to replace the mediaeval Roman Catholic Church, as to return it to its Biblical and historical foundations. The standard of this reform was the teaching of Holy Scripture, as understood and applied through the tradition of the Church and Holy Reason. Its goal, then, was simply to restore that Catholic faith and practice, which had been held by all Christians for the first thousand years prior to the division of Eastern and Western Church.
As Anglicans, we respect the freedom with respect to non-essentials in the Christian faith while holding to historic Anglicanism as defined in the three catholic Creeds and the 39 Articles of Religion. Obedient to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), we primarily seek to bring the unchurched into discipleship and to a saving knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We hold to historic norms of morality, liturgical worship, and the historic patristic three-fold ministry of deacons, priests and bishops. While not every parishioner holds "uniform" views on non-essential faith issues, the parish as a whole believes that it is Holy Trinity's vocation to witness to Christ the Redeemer, and to offer a place for worship and witness to all who hold to the historic Faith in the greater St. Louis area.
We look forward meeting you at one of our Worship Services in Webster Groves.
Blessings in the name of our Triune God!
