About the Anglican Church in America and the Traditional Anglican Communion
The Anglican Church In America (ACA) is among the largest of several "Continuing Churches" which emerged from the Affirmation of St. Louis and the 1977 gathering of faithful Anglicans which produced that document. The current President of the ACA House of Bishops is the Rt. Rev. Louis Falk. The ACA is part of the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC).

The Traditional Anglican Communion is a worldwide body of some half million members on six continents. The Primate of the TAC is Archbishop John Hepworth of Australia. The TAC is orthodox and solidly traditional in its teaching and practice. By contrast, the Canterbury-based Communion, which includes The Episcopal Church in the USA (TEC), emphasizes "inclusiveness" and embraces a wide range of belief, practice, and moral teaching. The TAC shares a common ancestry with Canterbury, including Apostolic Succession, but there is no direct hierarchical or organizational connection between us. As stated in the Affirmation of St Louis, however, we remain in communion with "all faithful parts of the Anglican Communion."

About Our Faith
We maintain and uphold the essentials of the Catholic faith in its Anglican expression. Our ways are ancient and our faith is unchanging. In the midst of the turbulent sea of the ever-changing world around us, we stand on the Rock of Jesus Christ as He has been made known to us in the teaching of the Holy Apostles, the Holy Church and the Holy Bible as the sole source of that peace which the world cannot give; the peace of God, which passes man's understanding.

We joyfully affirm the Three Catholic Creeds.

The principles of the "Continuing Church" are set forth in Affirmation of St. Louis. A brief pamphlet entitled "The Anglicans - Who are they? What is their faith?", written by The Most Rev. Louis W. Falk, former Primate of the ACA, provides a summary of our history, principles and practice.

About Our Vision
As a part of the Church, our primary goal is to prepare people for the world to come. We preserve the keys to the gates of heaven: the Word and the Sacraments. We offer the Living Water to all who thirst, free of charge. We aim to love each other and all people the way Christ has loved us. We aim to be like a city on a hill, our light so shining before men that they will be moved to praise God.

We are also committed to our Lord's command to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." (St. Matthew 28:19-20) To that end we teach and encourage the laity to "always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" (1 St. Peter 3:15).

We pray that you will soon visit our church with the expectation that you will be able to worship with a church family that will welcome you with open arms, a loving spirit, and a solid commitment to bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world.
