About Us

Our Mission:

What is the Anglican Church?

Fellowship

The Anglican Church of the Resurrection is a fellowship of Christians who believe that Jesus is THE way to salvation as He said in the Bible. We, the church, are not perfect, just forgiven. And we enjoy each other’s company socially as well as spiritually. All are welcome to join us as we seek to know God and make Him known to the world. If you want to know more, just come and see.

History and Origin

The Anglican Church is the oldest church in America. The name Anglican says that our roots are in the Church of England and the Anglican Church first came to America with the founding of the Jamestown settlement in 1607, more than 400 years ago. Many of our nation’s founders and great patriots were Anglicans, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton.

Worship

While the Anglican Church became an independent church in the Protestant Reformation, our worship reflects our roots in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions.  We celebrate seven Sacraments, the two Great Sacraments established by Jesus, Holy Baptism and Eucharist (or the Lord’s Supper), and the five lesser Sacraments, healing, reconciliation (confession and absolution), marriage, confirmation, and ordination.  Holy Communion, which is celebrated each week, is open to all baptized Christians.

Foundation

The Anglican Church recognizes two authoritative books: The Holy Bible as the Word of God containing all things necessary to salvation, and the Book of Common Prayer which contains the structure of our worship services.  The Anglican Church of the Resurrection uses the contemporary language version of the Book of Common Prayer (1979 version).  The essence of our beliefs is expressed by the historic creeds (Nicene and Apostles) of the church.

Ministers

Our ministers are Bishops, Priests, Deacons and Lay People. Our Bishops are part of the

historic lineage that can trace their ordination back to the time of the Apostles. Anglicans

believe that all baptized Christians are ministers of the church. Every Christian is

commissioned by Jesus to spread the Good News of Salvation through Jesus’ atoning sacrifice on the Cross.
