We are a community of traditionally minded Christians who are pleased to be able to worship in the Temple House of Israel Synagogue which always serves to remind us of our continuity with the faithful of past ages. We gather at 10 am on Sunday mornings for an Adult Study Group followed by a celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 11.

Seeking A Vicar
We worship in accordance with the Anglican Church of North America’s 2019 Book of Common Prayer. Our service is traditional and vibrant, featuring hymn singing, scripture readings, scripture based preaching and a reverent celebration of the Lord’s Supper where we fulfill Jesus command to “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.” (Matt. 26:26, 1 Cor. 11:24) We practice open communion, so any baptized Christian who repents of their sins and recognizes Christ’s true presence in the sacrament is welcome at the Lord’s Table. We print the entire service in our worship aid each Sunday, so it is easy for visitors to follow along.
