Biblical, Historic, and Liturgical
Worship in the Anglican Tradition

Our worship uses the 1928 Book of Common Prayer service of Holy Communion, traditional Anglican Hymnody, chanting of psalms and some elements of the liturgy, and Scripture readings with a Homily based on said readings.

Lancelot Andrewes described the foundational reference points of the Anglican tradition as, “One canon reduced to writing by God himself, two testaments, three creeds, four general councils, five centuries, and the series of Fathers in that period…”

Father Jason Patterson has explained, “The ordering is critical: each item below depends upon and explicates the one above. The supreme revelation of God is in Christ, the living Word of God: the primary witness to the revelation of the Word of God is in Scripture; the Creeds, Councils, and Catholic tradition explicate, clarify, and transmit the teaching of Scripture. We believe in the faith that has been received and carried on by the historic Christian Church throughout the centuries. Most importantly, this includes a commitment to the Bible as the Word of God, to the central place of Jesus Christ as the unique Son of God, and that salvation is found in his sacrificial death and resurrection alone.”

These fundamental authorities are understood through the worship of the Book of Common Prayer. The teaching and praying life of the church inform one another.

People usually wear “church clothes” to Sunday morning services. However, that can vary from a polo and clean jeans to a jacket and tie.

We do not have a separate service for the children. We do have a nursery area for children that need to step out of the service. We do also have Sunday School and Children’s Choir for the kids after service for age specific instruction.

Every Sunday morning at 10am we celebrate Holy Communion. We also will celebrate Holy Communion on Prayer Book feast days throughout the week. See the Calendar for specifics.
