Our Mission

Holy Trinity Anglican Church is a parish of the diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Province of America. We are committed to the Biblical doctrine, discipline and worship of the historic and orthodox Anglican Way of Christianity. In our parish life, we are called upon to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) through the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ and the faithful administration of the Sacraments of Baptism and the Holy Communion. Our witness to the love of Christ begins within our parish family and extends outwardly to such good works of charity, mercy and Christian education to which we are led by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the people of God, the preservation of Biblical faith and morality, and the building up of the Kingdom of Christ until His coming again.

About Anglican Worship

Our worship is not, of course, the only manner in which God may be praised, but it is an ancient and beautiful way. Anglican worship has its roots in the early British or Celtic Church of the first century. Our worship and theology is at once genuinely traditional and evangelical. Anglicans have worshipped with the Book of Common Prayer since 1549 with minor revisions in 1552, 1662 and 1928. It is one of the great theological and literary works of all time and together with the King James Bible is the common heritage of the English speaking world. People who are unfamiliar with our forms of worship are often surprised to learn that more Holy Scripture is read in our worship services than in any other church. Each Sunday a lesson is read from the Old and New Testaments and the Psalms. Over 75% of the Prayer Book consists of direct quotation from the Bible, while most of the rest is paraphrased from scripture. Anglicans have no unique doctrine, affirming the ancient creeds of the Undivided Church. We believe that Holy Scripture 'contains all things necessary for salvation.'

Invitation to Communion

Per the by-laws of this parish, and the canons of the APA, all visitors who are baptized Christians that love the Lord and who are eligible to receive the Lord's Supper in their home church are affectionately invited to the Lord's Holy Table to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. To place someone on the Prayer List, please see the Rector, or write the information down on a prayer request card (found in the pews) and place it in the Alms Basin at the offertory.

Membership or Visitation

Persons seeking to join the parish family or to discover more about the Anglican Way of Christianity should contact the Rector. If you desire to have the Rector call on you in your home, please let him know. He will be happy to visit with you.
