What is the Anglican Church?
:: The Anglican Communion is the fourth largest denomination in the world. Founded during the Reformation, Anglicans emphasize Protestant faith and theology without disregarding many of the traditions passed down from the early church. The beliefs of the Anglican Communion are expressed in the Bible, the Creeds, the 39 Anglican Articles, and the Book of Common Prayer.
The Anglican Mission in the Americas
:: The Anglican Mission began in August 2000 as a missionary outreach of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda. We are an integral part of an historic, world-wide, missionary movement focused on worship, making disciples of Jesus Christ, and outreach. As Anglicans, we not only enjoy a unique connection to our African brothers and sisters in Christ, we belong to a global family of some 77 million Christians in 164 countries across the world.
Why a new missionary movement in the United States?
:: Christianity is experiencing a dynamic renewal and expansion in many other parts of the world, including Africa, South America, and Asia. The Anglican Mission is catching this wave of the Spirit with a sincere desire to see revival in our country and in this generation. For this reason, the Anglican Mission exists to glorify God by gathering, planting, serving, growing, and multiplying dynamic local churches in the Anglican tradition that that love Jesus Christ and reach out to the world He died to save (John 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:14-47). We are compelled by the Spirit to extend the kingdom of God by reaching out from coast to coast to proclaim the Gospel and make faithful, fruitful, and fulfilled disciples of Jesus Christ.
