“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

with all your soul, and with all your mind.

This the first and great commandment.”

Matthew 22:37-38

 

 

We value Holy Scripture as the utmost authority of God.

The Bible guides us in every aspect of our life.

Our mission is the Great Commission

and the Great Commandment

and we recognize Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,

the Head of our church, and the Lord of all creation.

As a congregation in the Anglican Communion,

we follow the Book of Common Prayer in our worship.

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and are aware that the Holy Spirit is our counselor

and ever-present help in our personal and corporate lives. 

Worship in our church is truly a celebration of God’s grace and love, and the truth of the Gospel.

Our Mission Statement is simple, yet all encompassing:

LOVE GOD. BECOME DISCIPLES. SERVE OTHERS.

 
 

What We Believe

THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT

As the Anglican Church in North America (the Province), being a part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of Christ, we believe and confess Jesus Christ to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no one comes to the Father but by Him. Therefore, we identify the following seven elements as characteristic of the Anglican Way, and essential for membership:

  1. We confess the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God, containing all things necessary for salvation, and to be the final authority and unchangeable standard for Christian faith and life.
  2. We confess Baptism and the Supper of the Lord to be Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself in the Gospel, and thus to be ministered with unfailing use of His words of institution and of the elements ordained by Him.
  3. We confess the godly historic Episcopate as an inherent part of the apostolic faith and practice, and therefore as integral to the fullness and unity of the Body of Christ.
  4. We confess as proved by most certain warrants of Holy Scripture the historic faith of the undivided church as declared in the three Catholic Creeds: the Apostles’, the Nicene, and the Athanasian.
  5. Concerning the seven Councils of the undivided Church, we affirm the teaching of the first four Councils and the Christological clarifications of the fifth, sixth and seventh Councils, in so far as they are agreeable to the Holy Scriptures.
  6. We receive The Book of Common Prayer as set forth by the Church of England in 1662, together with the Ordinal attached to the same, as a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline, and, with the Books which preceded it, as the standard for the Anglican tradition of worship.
  7. We receive the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of 1571, taken in their literal and grammatical sense, as expressing the Anglican response to certain doctrinal issues controverted at that time, and as expressing fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief.

In all these things, the Anglican Church in North America is determined by the help of God to hold and maintain, as the Anglican Way has received them, the doctrine, discipline and worship of Christ and to transmit the same, unimpaired, to our posterity.

We seek to be and remain in full communion with all Anglican Churches, Dioceses and Provinces that hold and maintain the Historic Faith, Doctrine, Sacraments and Discipline of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

Worship

Worship at Christ The King is truly a celebration of God’s grace and love, and the truth of the gospel. We give prominence to the ministry of God’s Word with scripture readings by adults and children, and a sermon/teaching. The Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) is celebrated each Sunday at our service. Children’s Sunday school, nursery, and prayer ministry are also available.

A feature of our worship style is to personalize the prayers of the people by inviting everyone gathered to pray aloud for the needs that God lays on their hearts. This open sharing of prayer requests and thanksgivings is in keeping with the warm, family atmosphere of our services. 

A distinctive feature of Sunday Morning worship is our use of blended worship, meaning, the use of traditional hymns and contemporary Christian music. We seek to enter into God’s presence through our praise.  Such joy is experienced that hands are often lifted in praise and claps of thanksgiving are made to the Lord. In these and other ways we strive to make each worship service a fresh and memorable experience that will leave you wanting more of God in your life.
