We employ the rich Ceremonial of the historic
Church in our worship. While it may seem a bit strange or unnatural to you at
first, be patient. The liturgical heritage of the Church WILL speak to you in
time, as it has to Christians through the centuries.
Welcome to Saint George’s_
If you are a visitor with us
just for today we bid you God speed on your journey. If you are seeking a
church home we welcome you into our spiritual family so that you might make
good on your Christian duty to “follow Christ, worship God every Sunday in His
Church, to work and pray and give for the spread of His kingdom” (BCP, page 291). In either case, be sure to sign the guest
book and introduce yourself to us upon the conclusion of the service.
We are part of the Anglican
Province of Christ the King–a nationwide body of traditional Episcopal Churches
which stands for historic Christianity in the Anglican tradition.
OUR BELIEFS are based on the
teaching of the Bible and the ancient creeds of the Church. We use the 1928
Book of Common Prayer as the basis for our worship.
OUR MISSION is to worship God, serve Jesus
Christ, and to bring mankind to Jesus and His Church by : (1)
proclaiming biblical truth through Catholic
order as it is embodied in the historic Book of Common Prayer; (2) preaching
God’s Word and administrating His Holy Sacraments; (3) showing the love of
Christ by reaching out to others through works of charity; and (4) upholding
Christian family values and teaching the Christian faith and New Testament
morality to our children.
OUR GOALS are: to grow in
understanding of and participation in the corporate worship services of the
Church, to read Holy Scripture daily and to love God and our neighbor more
fully.
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN are
especially welcomed, as our Church
School stands ready to
equip you and your children for living the Christian life. Sunday school
instruction and nursery are provided during the 10:30 am Sunday service.
