Anglican Mission
Wilsonville, Ontario
A Bible-believing, gospel-sharing Anglican church
St. Barnabas is a Bible-believing and gospel-sharing church that practices traditional Anglican worship according to the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. As members of the Global Anglican Future Conference, we are in full communion with the majority of Anglicans around the world, including the Church of Nigeria and the Anglican Church of Kenya.
Sunday Service
We have Holy Communion every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Our service includes music, prayer, a Bible sermon, and Communion.
Though ancient, our worship is intelligible even to those with little or no experience with Christianity. Everyone is invited to come as they are and approach the living God with us.
About Our Pastor
Interim Priest-in-Charge: Rev. Dave Doherty
Pastor Dave holds degrees from Emmanuel Bible College (Kitchener) and McMaster Divinity College (Hamilton). He was ordained a priest in 2022 and served as curate of St. Hilda's (Oakville) before coming to St. Barnabas.
Dave has worked in Christian publishing and was an adjunct professor at Emmanuel Bible College from 2021 to 2024. He loves using the riches of the church's two-thousand-year story to build up disciples of Jesus.
Anglicanism
The Anglican churches around the world all come from the Church of England. For about a thousand years, the Church of England was the only church in England. Then, in the 1500s, it joined a huge movement called the Protestant Reformation and sought to align itself totally with the Bible and the practices of the early Christians. Church services, now held in English rather than Latin, were about worshiping as a community: the people prayed together, took Communion together, and listened together as the pastor explained the Bible. Five hundred years later, this communal worship is at the heart of what we do as Anglicans.
Our Liturgy
We conduct our worship according to set patterns of prayer, teaching, and sacraments, as Christians have done since the very early years of the church. We call these patterns our liturgy. During the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, the church produced a new liturgy that was based on the ancient and medieval worship of the church but was refocused on the good news of the Bible. This new liturgy, published as the Book of Common Prayer, is one of the greatest treasures of Anglicanism and has been enjoyed by countless people of various denominations. At St. Barnabas we use a revision of the Book of Common Prayer published in 2019.
