Holy Cross Anglican Church is a community of faithful believers that profess the gospel of Jesus Christ in the living tradition of the traditional Anglican Church. Our spirituality is rooted in scripture, prayer, evangelism, celebration of the Holy Eucharist and sharing in the sacramental life of the Church. Our theology and liturgical language is anchored in the Holy Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

The Anglican Fellowship in Knoxville was founded in July 2004, by a group of former Episcopalians in response to the adoption of humanist revisionist ideas by the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA). The ECUSA's disregard for the authority of scripture became evident through the illegal consecration of V. Gene Robinson and the sanctioning of "same sex rites" in August of 2003, and continues with the illegal consecration of Mary Douglas Glasspool in May of 2010. These actions are contrary to Holy Scripture, and are unacceptable to God-fearing people. Because of these actions, we were compelled to find for ourselves, and even more for our children, an alternative worship service which remained true to the admonitions of the Bible and was liturgically in line with out Apostolic teachings. Finding none acceptable among the main-line denominations, we adopted the name of Anglican Fellowship of Knoxville, and began worship services in rented accommodations in Knoxville, in August of A.D. 2004.
