Our Core Commitments

The Communion of Anglican Churches believes and upholds the eternal truths revealed by God through His Son and Word. These truths define values that shape our identity and guide the expressions of our faith, words, actions, and worship.

1. Commitment to Jesus Christ: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, Who is the only begotten Son of the Living God. All who come to Him by faith and ask forgiveness for their sins receive that forgiveness through Christ's shed blood, fulfilling the Old Covenant and Mosaic Law and establishing a New Everlasting Covenant. In this, we as believers receive and live in newness of life through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This new life of faith is to be marked by a joyful obedience to Jesus Christ, to God's Word and to the leading of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 16:15-16; Ephesians 2:4-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 5:22-25).

2. Authority of Scripture: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their entirety are God's Word, and are the standard by which we are to order our lives, express our faith, and function as a community (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

3. Evangelism: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that we are to live our lives, to make disciples, and to grow our churches in a manner that expresses the loving and longing heart of God for those who are separated from Jesus Christ and His Church (Matthew 9:12-13; Luke 15; 1 Timothy 4:1-5).

4. Relational Ministry: The Communion of Anglican Churches is committed to ministry being accomplished in relationships that express the love, intimacy, and unity of God as revealed in the relationship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The CAC is committed to holding ourselves accountable before God and to one another within our Anglican polity (John 13:34; 1 John 4:11-21).

5. Worship: The Communion of Anglican Churches is committed to worship in Word and Sacrament, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our worship in glorifying God-is to be authentic and relevant to our cultural setting while remaining within the breadth of our Anglican Tradition (John 4:23-24; I Corinthians 11:23-26; Acts 17:22-24).

6. Servant Ministry: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that every Christian is created for ministry, called to ministry, and needed for ministry. We are, therefore, committed to equip, empower, and release the faithful to use their spiritual gifts to glorify God and to build up the Body of Christ (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12-13).

7. Sacrificial Giving: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that we are to be generous with our time, talents, and money as we share with those in need, support the work of God among us, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 John 3:17-18; Ezra 2:68-69; Acts 2:44-47).

8. Biblical Leadership: The Communion of Anglican Churches is committed to identifying and training emerging leaders who are committed to Christ and to reaching their generation with the Gospel. This will require those seeking leadership in the CACI to have an authentic faith, Godly character, and a servant's heart (Luke 22:27; Romans 12; I Corinthians 12-13).

9. Expectant Prayer: The Communion of Anglican Churches believes that nothing of significance happens in God's Kingdom in the absence of prayer. Therefore, we seek to make prayer a priority-inviting God to lead, restore, heal, and transform our lives, our churches, our communities, and the world (John 14:15-31; Luke 11:1-13).

Who Are We?

We are Christians.

We are followers of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice and shed blood, we are enabled to ask forgiveness before God for all that we have done that separates us from Him. It is the Father, God Himself, who has brought this pathway of renewal, allowing us to acknowledge our failings and heal our broken relationship with Him. In this renewed relationship, we can then seek to heal our broken relationships with each other.

We Are Brothers and Sisters of a Common Faith.

This is the faith taught by Jesus to His apostles and passed to each of us that we would understand who we are as God’s children. As Christians, we are committed to reaching all people throughout the world with the transforming love of Jesus Christ.

We Celebrate Unity.

We celebrate unity in the essential elements of Christian faith, worship, life, and ministry. Like trees planted at the water's edge, our Anglican roots are nourished through the authority of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. That authority is further supported through our relational Experience with the Holy Spirit (The Great Counselor).
