Mission Statement
The Mission of Holy Cross Anglican Church is to glorify Almighty God
by providing a spiritual home in the Knoxville area where people will
experience Christ through traditional Anglican worship; by complying
with the Great Commission; and by holding to “the faith once
delivered unto the saints”.
We
are determined with God’s grace to hold and maintain the Doctrines,
Sacraments, and Disciplines of Christ as the Lord has commanded in
His Holy Word; as the traditional Anglican movement has received and
set forth the same in the Book of Common Prayer, in the Thirty-nine
Articles of Religion; and in the spirit of the Affirmation of St.
Louis. We intend to transmit the same unimpaired to our posterity,
“Do
not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what
is good and acceptable and perfect”. Romans 12:2 (RVS)
Vision
Our vision for
Holy Cross Anglican Church is for her to be an Anglican presence in
the Knoxville, Tennessee area of such irresistible spiritual power
in Word and Sacrament that through her people are drawn to a personal
relationship with God in Jesus Christ and become members of the Body
of Christ, His Church. We will be known for our commitment to evangelical
faith and catholic order.
