We commit to live together as a community under the purpose, values, faith and way of life which God has given to the Church of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, handed down in the Church from generation to generation. We proclaim the Lordship of Jesus; serving those in need; and advancing God’s Kingdom on earth.

We commit to live together in a humble, loving, sacrificial and Scripturally-based manner; seeking God’s will as a body and grounding our actions and decisions in Biblical principles. We glorify God, not ourselves, in our actions.

We understand that some may choose to stay with TEC. We respect each individual’s decision and pray that God will guide all of our actions to the glorification of His name.

What Has Been Done?
1- Christ Church Anglican Articles of Incorporation have been accepted and approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission as a non-profit Corporation. This letter introduces our new logo and letterhead.

2- Christ Church Anglican will launch regular services as soon as possible this Fall. We must establish affiliation with an Anglican bishop prior to celebrating Eucharist. If necessary, we will meet together for Morning and Evening Prayer followed by social time for group support during an interim period.

3- An Anglican Affiliation Committee has researched and recommended our affiliation with an Anglican bishop. Please be assured that many people are working very hard on this important task.

4- Our new web site will launch on September 14: www.christchurchanglicanaz.org.

5- We have submitted our application to affiliate with the Anglican Communion Network and will be working with its Church Planting Office to identify and call a rector. Until then, we are identifying local resources to assist us with Sunday worship and pastoral care.

6- A number of potential sites for CC Anglican worship are being explored by Wendy Pitha’s Site Location Committee. They will announce our new worship site shortly.

7- A Stewardship campaign will soon be in full progress. If you choose to support Christ Church Anglican, our Stewardship Chair, Marc Smith will be happy to contact you.

8- Our treasurer David Cox is assessing funds available and preparing a budget to fund our first year of operation.

9- Besides those named above, committee chairs for music, worship and communications have been appointed. We are focusing special attention on Christian Education including activities for children and teens. Look for these announcements as they become available.

10- The first parish meeting of CC Anglican is planned for October. At this time, Wardens, Officers and Vestry will be elected.

11- We are considering formation of small groups to meet in member homes for support during this transition. If you wish to participate in a small group ministry you may sign-up with one of the contacts below.

12- We invite you to join the ever-growing list of those already committed to Christ Church Anglican. We encourage you to call one of the starred (*) names to indicate your wish to explore joining our new Anglican parish.

You will receive more information soon. God Bless You.

And he who sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5
