Classical Anglicanism — Faithful to biblical orthodoxy and
the principles of historic Anglican worship

Classical Anglicanism

Our congregations in the South, lower Midwest, and West are faithful to biblical orthodoxy and the principles of classical Anglican worship.

We are disciples of Jesus Christ, holding to the doctrines of the Protestant and Reformed faith as summarized in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion. Our doctrinal allegiance is to the Bible — God's Word as the final authority.

We embrace our heritage from the Protestant Reformation as carried out in England, continuing the doctrines and forms of worship of the English Reformers. We are not an ethnic church, but we belong to the one race of people redeemed by Christ.
