WELCOME TO ST BENEDICT'S ANGLICAN CHURCH
"God is light; In him there is no darkness...”
Our Calling
At St Benedict's Anglican Church, we pursue the Glory of God through worship, ministry, giving and education. We strive to connect with Jesus Christ and to each other, in order to magnify His name. At the heart of everything we do is the understanding that we must love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, and to treat our neighbors as we wish to be treated ourselves.

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.
Matthew 10:5-8
What We Believe
Anglicans believe that there is only one God, but there are three elements to this one God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, that human beings' decision to reject this eternal God and live according to their own standards (sin) causes a relational breakdown between them that God the Son, Jesus Christ lived and died to give people a model and a way to be reconciled with God.
Anglicans consider the Bible to be fundamental to life as a Christian and believe that "the Scriptures contain all things necessary for salvation"
Anglicans believe that the Christian life involves regular praise and prayer, both private and public, and that Christian, while they must practice what they preach and pray on both Sundays (the day when Anglicans normally gather for worship) and everyday, as they seek to live out their worship.
Anglicans believe that people become members of God's church through Baptism and all Christians celebrate Holy Communion (also known as Eucharist)as a shared "meal" (of bread/wafer and wine) which they eat together in Jesus' name.
Anglicans accept the major Creeds as expressing their Christian faith. The Apostle's Creed is the statement of faith used in Baptism and morning and evening prayer, while the Nicene Creed is prayed in the service of Holy Communion. (These can be found in any Anglican prayer book.) Anglicans summarize their basic beliefs in the Catechism (an old word meaning "what is to be taught")
