Anglicans are rooted in history, look to the future, and live in the present.

The origins of the Anglican church stretch back to the lives of the Apostles. Today we are a world-wide, global, and contemporary church with approxiately eighty million members. We are modern but with our feet in the soil of time.

Anglicanism is a way of faithfully participating in the many facets of the Christian Faith. During the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century the Roman Catholic Church experienced reform through many influences. Each had its valued contribution to correcting the abuses of the Church, and England did too. Our worship style reflects both historical and modern expressions.

At Emmanuel we cultivate a kind of "presence of mind" about worship. We follow the church calendar, practice an artful liturgy, confess our faith through the historic creeds, celebrate the Eucharist, and practice compassion for all people.

Anglicans have a high view of the Bible, value tradition, and use our minds, our hearts and our hands. We respect leadership, and yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We give him our lives because he alone is the source of our fulfillment and transformation.

Emmanuel Anglican is constantly growing into a mature and vibrant community of faith. What we say we believe we try to practice. Though we are not perfect, we lean steadily on the goodness of God.
