Who we are

We are:

Rooted in Scripture & Steeped in Anglican Tradition.”

We are a liturgical church committed to classical Anglicanism.  Our worship is from the Book of Common Prayer 2019, which draws heavily from, and retains the consistent theology, scriptural purity, and evangelical simplicity of, the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.  We trace our history from the “continuing movement” through our membership in the Convocation of the West within the Missionary Diocese of All Saints.  St. Barnabas is a founding participant in the renewal of Orthodox Anglicanism through the Anglican Church of North America (A.C.N.A.). 

We are:

Catholic, sharing the faith, sacraments, and teachings that the Church of Jesus Christ has embraced in every era; and share the fellowship of all like-minded people around the world.

Apostolic, continuing steadfastly in the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, and are under the prayerful oversight of our Bishops (the Apostles of our day).  We trace our Apostolic Succession through the Diocese of the West (Reformed Episcopal Church) and the Diocese of Cascadia (Anglican Church of North America).

Reformed, as we are spiritual heirs to the treasures of the English Reformation, holding to the doctrines taught in the 39 Articles of Religion and guided by liturgy of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer (revised 2019).

Evangelical, believing and proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the only advocate and mediator between God and man, who by his sacrifice, once for all, reconciles all who believe in Him to God.

We:

Believe, that the Holy Bible is the inerrant, revealed Word of God and, therefore, the ultimate authority and standard of faith and practice in our lives.

Advocate, the ministry of all believers, the laity together with the three-fold offices of deacon, priest, and bishop.

Emphasize, regular, reverent, disciplined worship services in which we praise Almighty God, admit our need for Him in our daily lives, and offer Him prayers of thanksgiving and petition for others as well as ourselves.

We warmly invite you to join us in the worship, witness, and service of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
