What does “Anglican” Mean?
More details about what we believe and teach at St. Andrew's in the Valley.

We are an Anglican Church-- that means that…

…we're part of the global relationship of churches established over the centuries by the Church of England, a church that is experiencing tremendous growth and renewal in many locations, particularly the "2/3 world".

Our worship is both ancient and modern. Anglicans have always upheld the Holy Scriptures as God's Word and we stand on the two great creeds, the Apostles' and Nicene, as the fundamental statements of Christian belief.

We celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as commanded by Jesus and we uphold the historic order of Bishops in the administration of the church's life and mission.

Our approach to worship, based in ancient practice, engages the senses--connecting with people's hearts and minds. This means that Anglican churches are in a unique place to capture the imagination of a society immersed in the images of the media and internet.

The Anglican Mission in America is poised to usher in a new movement of God's Spirit in this nation, as we follow Him and seek to build His Kingdom.
