Helping people become authentic followers of Jesus Christ is really what
we are all about at Saint Anne's. In a relaxed atmosphere where young and old
feel welcomed, Saint Anne's is an evangelical community that is committed to
being faithful to God's Word and loving to God's people. As Anglicans, we
appreciate our rich heritage of worship and prayer. Seeking authenticity as
a faith community, we recognize our imperfections and we rely upon God's
grace and mercy. In a way, we are a "spiritual hospital" so our welcome
extends to all who desire to experience the healing and reconciling love of
God through our Savior Jesus Christ. Because of that commitment to heal the
brokenhearted, we are a tender Church. But we also seek our Christian
authenticity as a "spiritual army" (or should I say because of our close
proximity to Camp Pendleton "a spiritual Marine").
We are a group composed of singles and marrieds, young and old, rich and poor who
have a calling to serve as ministers of Christ Jesus through the power of
the Holy Spirit to the world around us. Sharing the good news of God's
Kingdom, helping the poor, and living out our lives in faithfulness to
Christ and His Church is part of our sacramental life. In essence, we are a
prayer-driven church with clarity concerning our purpose.
If any of this appeals to you, perhaps Saint Anne's is a place you can call home.
We invite you to experience our growing and loving congregation this Sunday in
Oceanside or our new church plant in Vista.
We expect newcomers and have reserved parking spaces close to the sanctuary
just for you. When you drop in, please be sure to say "hi" so that we can
become better acquainted. By the way, we are a Church that takes its faith
seriously, but not ourselves – so you will find that we laugh a lot and
occasionally cry some. But isn't that what happens when you seek to become
authentic?
Seeking authenticity as an apprentice of the Master,
Fr. Tony
