Today, more than ever, we live in a world full of
paradoxes. We have more ways than ever to "be connected" electronically, yet we
often feel lonely and isolated. We have all kinds of technology to enhance and
prolong life but often miss the joy in that life. Outside appearances may say
that we are strong and secure, yet many things in our lives are transitory and
unstable. Our lives are often full and we are "on the go," yet we lack any
sense of real or enduring purpose and often question our worth.
All too often, all that churches offer in the midst
of all these paradoxes we face is a list of things we should or should not do
-- not helping us navigate through our world, but increasing our guilt and
burden.
Jesus has so much more for us.
It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the
fullness of our lives and the distractions of the world that we
settle for lives that are less than what Jesus desires for us.
Often we dream too small, we settle our desires and longings on
lesser things, we serve lesser "gods" and miss genuine life.
Our hope is to step out of a world bound by confusion and
empty promises and step into the larger story – the spaciousness
and life of Jesus.
This life and spaciousness is not found through tips and
techniques, but through an ongoing engaging with God through His
Word, with His people, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
This life and spaciousness is found as we step into who He
has rescued and formed us to be – not trying to conform to some
mold of who we think we should be, but stepping into our
true identity in Him. Our hope is to be able to walk this
journey together
We are open to all who are looking for a church
home or who merely want to explore what the Christian faith has to say about
the issues and questions of life we all face.
Whether you simply want to explore who Jesus Christ
is and the foundations of the Christian faith or whether you want to move
deeper in your relationship with Jesus Christ, you will find the International
Anglican Church to be a welcoming and challenging community of faith.
"Blessed are
those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage." Psalm
84:5
