In these uncertain times - amidst changing values, moral decline, spiritual questioning and the advance of secular humanism - it's good to know that there is a Christian Church that still offers a timely message to the uncertainty of our time. This alternative is consistent with God's Holy Word. It focuses worship on Almighty God and not on man. It is an alternative which is rich in biblical preaching and consistent with the English tradition as expressed by our American Forefathers.
We are an Anglican Church because we continue to live and practice the fullness of the Faith in its unique English form which has been present in England since the early second century. We can trace the term “Anglican” back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Europe. The tribal name was spelled “Engles” or “Angles,” as the tribes’ speech was the precursor to the English language. Their land became known as England and their Christians as Anglicans. Anglicans would eventually produce such pinnacles of the English language as the Book of Common Prayer and the Authorized Version of the Bible (KJV).
We are a Diocese that was formerly affiliated with the Anglican Province of America (APA). The Diocese voted unanimously in 2025 to leave the APA because it felt that the direction of Anglicanism in North America as exhibited by the current continuing Anglican churches and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) lacked a broad, orthodox vision that could recover the Old High Church Anglicanism as exhibited by the Church of England and the Episcopal Church during their days of orthodoxy.
In short, the Diocese sought to create nothing new, but return to the tradition abandoned by the contemporary, liberal Anglicanism found in the Episcopal Church and Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), and the monochrome Anglo-Catholic (if not Anglo-Papalist) expressions found in most of the continuing Anglican movement. Neither of these expressions reflect the received English Prayer Book tradition. We seek to recover the Anglican Way as expressed by Dearmer, Gore, Chase, Kemper, Breck, Temple, Ramsey, Hobart, Whipple, and so many others.
We are making disciples for Jesus Christ in the Anglican Way. We are committed to the Faith as once delivered to the Saints, transmitted through the Church of England in her orthodoxy to our forefathers, and serving as a foundation for effective ministry in the name of Christ to a world which is lost without him.
