What is Anglicanism?
Anglicanism is Biblical Christianity
We believe the Bible is inspired by God and is True. One of the ways God speaks to us is through His Holy Scriptures. By reading the Bible, we come to know and love God’s will and His attributes.
Anglicanism is Gospel-Centered Christianity
Jesus Christ is the center of everything we do. The entire Old Testament points to Christ and the entire New Testament reveals God’s saving plan of love and redemption through the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.
Anglicanism is Sacramental Christianity
We know that God is actively present in the world and in us. The Anglican Church has identified 7 Sacraments given to us by Jesus as recorded in the Bible. A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of God's Grace that is happening inwardly and spiritually in a very real way. While God’s presence is always with us, these sacraments are tangible, sure signs of God with us, as promised by Jesus. Sometimes in life, it’s comforting to have a sure sign of God’s presence that we can hold onto tightly.
Anglicanism is Liturgical Christianity
Sure, we pray extemporaneously all the time, but we also love prayers that have been thoughtfully crafted by fellow Christians; and we love saying them together. We use the 2019 Anglican Prayer Book in our church services. Many of the prayers in our Prayer Book are really just Bible passages. We also say our Creeds together: The Apostles’ Creed, in use before 300 AD, and The Nicene Creed, written in 325 AD. Both creeds are statements of faith written and used by the early church to solidify our canon beliefs.
Anglicanism is Traditional Christianity
Here in Aggieland, we love our traditions. The Anglican Church has many traditions that come directly from the time of Jesus. For example, we’ve actually kept a record that starts with the hands of Jesus commissioning His disciples to lead the early church as Apostles, who then commissioned more church leaders, and on down to our current bishops. Come worship the Lord with us and you’ll discover our vast network of rich traditions. You’re going to love it! Gig ‘em, Aggies!
