Our Mission
God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.The Great Commission,
The Message
| The Anglican Mission |
TheAM Beginnings...Reaching the Un-Churched From a bold beginning in Singapore, the Anglican Mission was born when key leaders of the Anglican Church in Africa and Asia responded to a crisis of faith and leadership in the western church, establishing the Anglican Mission as a groundbreaking intervention.Since 2000, theAM has broken into new territory through planting churches as well as receiving existing congregations. Currently, dozens of emerging works are in some stage of development. TheAM is sponsoring specific initiatives to reach Hispanic and Asian communities and concentrating efforts throughout the West and among urban populations to reach the 130 million un-churched and spiritually disconnected people in North America. Missional FocusAs a missionary outreach of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, the Mission enjoys the oversight of Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini of Rwanda and the Rwandan House of Bishops. This global connection is a close partnership of mission and ministry fueled by a shared passion and vision for reaching those outside the church in the US and Canada.The church is the only society in the world that exists for the benefit of those who are not yet our members. - William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (1942-44) From the beginning, the Anglican Mission has focused on breaking into new territory through planting churches as well as receiving existing congregations. Currently, dozens of emerging works are in some stage of development, and the Anglican Mission is sponsoring specific initiatives to reach Hispanic and Asian communities in targeted areas of North America, as well as the increasingly post-Christian culture on the West Coast of America.
