Traditional Anglican Catholic Church
St. Timothy’s
The Church is Holy
The first mission of the Church is the worship of Almighty God. And it is in this context that the holiness of individual members comes to a realization. Our worship is elegant, respectfully formal, and essentially timeless in its form and attitude. It is structured worship that allows the unique mastery over its elements and the ability to pray the liturgy on a deeply personal basis. Many of our prayers are in writing so we may use them as familiar and intimate avenues to God. Our liturgy provides the foundation for personal holiness, for the continuing process of each member to reach and grow in God’s grace.
The Church Is Catholic
St. Vincent of Lerins defined Catholicism in the early fifth century. “What has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.” By this test, we Anglicans consider ourselves to be catholic, together with the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholicism, and Old Catholic Churches. The impression of Catholicism is apostolic succession. We can trace their sanctification back to the apostles. Our theology is that of the seven Ecumenical Councils and the underlying unity of faith and order with this early Church. We judge contemporary issues in the light of the Holy Scriptures and that Holy Tradition. We preach an individual living faith in Jesus Christ but stress a life lived out in the Church, the community of saints. We exalt the Lord Christ– yet it recognizes the proper honor paid to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. We hold to traditional Christian morals yet provide ready confession and absolution to the penitent sinner. In short, we have the catholic faith, and the faith once delivered to the saints.
The Church is sacramental
Often we state that our society is too materialistic. Perhaps, in many ways, this is true. But it also exhibits a profound disdain for the material. Think of all the things we use once and then throw them away. We do not value the material or especially respect it. But the Catholic Church has always respected the material world as the loving creation of God Himself. And through this material world, God reaches us with his love and power, for He has no other means. Thus we employ material elements (water, bread, wine, oil, married life) as channels of that love and power He has ordained. We meet our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the Holy Eucharist weekly. He allows us to feed on His Body, Blood, and Real Presence, strengthening our souls and imparting eternal life.
The Church is traditional
We believe in historical faith, and all Anglican worship is grounded in common prayer. Our traditional text is the Book of Common Prayer, but our churches also use the Book of Alternative Services. We invite you to read more about our beliefs, organization, history, and what to expect when you visit an Anglican church.
Excellence in Christ Since the Beginning
The Apostolic Faith in the Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelical, Reformed and Catholic Tradition
Although many believe that Anglican Christianity came from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, it actually had its beginnings in the earliest days of the Christian Church. As the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus Christ spread the Gospel throughout the known world, it is believed that Joseph of Arimathea first brought Christianity to the indigenous Celtic tribes of Ireland, Scotland and Britain. While his visit may be in dispute, the early Christian Church took hold in locations from Egypt to Britain in the first century and grew in the lands that would someday be called the British Isles.
