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.
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.
Rev. Joshua Samuels, Rector
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.
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.
