Church of the Resurrection has a vision to grow. Growth is different than change, but growth requires change. Change suggests that one thing will become something else. Growth means that one thing changes into a more fully and richly developed expression of the potential it has always held. It is in this sense that our church has a vision to grow, both by adding new people and by developing our spiritual "DNA" in a way that brings greater glory to God. Among the things we are planning to launch beginning January 2012 and over the coming months and next few years:
About Us
| | Hits: 423
The Anglican Church of the Resurrection (ACR) formed out of a parish of the Episcopal Church in response to the departure of that church from biblical and historic Christian teaching.
The Anglican Church of the Resurrection is a parish in the Diocese of New England, a part of the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC). a nationwide body of Traditional Churches practicing Christianity in the Anglican tradition and using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer for our services. The Anglican Catholic Church is part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ, faithfully continuing the Anglican tradition. We practice and uphold the historic Catholic Faith, Apostolic Order, Orthodox Worship, and Evangelical Witness of the traditional Anglican Church." Our Parish serves the Naugatuck River Valley including Shelton, Derby, Ansonia, Seymour, Oxford, and Beacon Falls.
What we believe
| | Hits: 406
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of
God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by
whom all things were made.
Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin
Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and
the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of
the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no
end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with
the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I
look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Our Mission

The mission of Anglican Church of the Resurrection is to strengthen families through classical biblical Christian values, to reach out to young people through the stability of the unchanging Christian Tradition passed on from earliest times, and preserve and teach the rich treasure that is the classical Anglican way of faith.
Our goal is to strengthen and foster a genuine and living relationship with God through Christ; to be a stable and loving church home to all people seeking God's truth; to reach out to a hurting world and provide pastoral care to those who struggle with addiction and life's hardships; to instruct people in the Christian faith in such a way that it leads to stability, freedom, and blessing.
