Eternal Significance:
There are many things that we do during an average week. Most of these things are necessary just to survive: jobs, food, sleep, etc. Over the weekend though, the focus changes and we want to relax. We recognize that we don't just live to work. God tells us that we don't live "by bread alone", meaning that material success doesn't last and ultimately, doesn't satisfy.
The deepest joy and satisfaction of life comes when we spend time fulfilling the purpose for which we were made: communicating, loving, and worshipping Our Creator.
So Many Churches...
Too many worship services today center on the worshippers, on how they feel as they attend, or as they leave the service. Others rework the service to please those seeking a religious experience.
We strive to keep our attention on God, and not on ourselves. We believe that worship involves offering ourselves, souls and bodies to serve the Lord God. In giving ourselves to God in worship, we receive the Lord's blessings, guidance, and encouragement.
Why Me???
The fact is that Christian churches are losing members in the USA and in the whole Western world. Some pastors have tried to slow the loss of membership by offering entertainment in place of worship.
The Anglican Church has resisted imitating the secular culture, remaining true to "the faith once delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). Our worship retains the historic pattern of Worship used by the Church throughout the ages.
The continuation of this God-honoring tradition requires your faithfulness we are no longer the church of large numbers, but we have a precious task and privilege to carry on a work of Eternal Significance. You have the choice to relax on Sunday, or to invest yourself in this tremendous work, the work of the Kingdom of God.
Teaching and Growing...
With its historic liturgy, the Anglican Church is well prepared to confront the issues and the spirit of the times in which we live. Our understanding of contemporary science and of the ancient Biblical message provides strong evidence for the supernatural inspiration of the Biblical text. Seeming contradictions between science and theology can be traced to a misunderstanding of either science or theology, or both. We have found that God rewards the diligent student with a stronger faith and a greater love of God's inspired Word.
If you feel that God is speaking to you through our Evangelism and Outreach efforts, visit us, give us a try. We believe that your visit can have eternal significance and consequences. You will be most welcome. We enjoy the fellowship of people from all walks of life, all ages, and all backgrounds.
Our Worship Liturgy is based on the Book of Common Prayer, 1662.
The Scripture lessons are taken from the historic "Eucharistic Lectionary", the 1-yr Lectionary that governed Anglican worship for many centuries.
Our hymns are mostly from the Hymnal 1940, with additional hymns taken from a variety of sources to enhance the Lectionary theme of the particular Sunday in the Church Year.
With the use of digital technology we sing to the accompaniment of real pipe organs and listen to the world's finest choirs, presenting musical treasures of the past and present. The purpose of all of our Worship is to glorify God & to enjoy Him forever.
