Anglicanism

As Anglicans, we are followers of Jesus Christ and his teachings as laid out in the Bible. We believe in the power of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We strive to love our neighbours as ourselves and respect the dignity of all persons. We celebrate our unity in Christ while honouring our differences, always emphasizing the power of love before uniformity of opinion.

Anglicanism is simply the expression of the one, true, Biblical, and apostolic faith in English. All English-speaking Christians everywhere have some connection to the English (or ‘Anglican’) Church. Anglicans believe, teach, and practice only those things which have been held in common by the whole Church since its earliest days concerning God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, humanity, faith, and morality.

Just as Saint Paul and the early Christian evangelists traveled to Corinth, Philippi, and Thessalonica, men and women of faith brought Christianity to the British Isles in the A.D. 50s. These saints were the beginning of the “Anglican” (Latin for “English”) Church. We are the first English speaking Christians.

Anglicans value their heritage of biblical faith, reason, liturgy, tradition, and the rich variety of life in our community. We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God’s creation and a stronger resolve in challenging attitudes and structures that cause injustice.

As Anglicans we are passionate about our communities and work together with a variety of local and national charities in following Christ’s example to help and advocate for those less fortunate. We believe in working hard to create a society that is based on Christian values, human rights, equality, and the dignity of the human person.

You and your family are warmly invited to join us for shared worship and Christian community life.

When you attend a service at St. George’s you will see that prayer and communal experience are a central part of our worship. As an Anglican parish we make Eucharist (also known as Communion) a key part of most Sunday services, as is the sharing together of our time and faith as part of the larger Christian community. 

St. George’s is a warm and welcoming Anglican community bringing together a diverse family of Christians who share their love of Jesus Christ and worship together each week.

All are welcome to find a spiritual home in the Anglican Church.
