If you are new to the area, we hope you will join with us for worship services. You
will find St Patrick to be warm and welcoming. We experience the joy and
commitment of a common life as faithful Christians. We seek to share the wonder,
mystery and love of our faith with all earnest Christian seekers.
In our common worship, we observe the ancient rites of the church through regular
prayer and the Holy Eucharist. The liturgy of our church holds us together; it is
through common or communal worship that the people of God come together
most completely to offer their prayers, sing their praises to God and deepen their
spiritual understanding. We encourage all to join with us, to learn the language of
our worship and participate in the unique spiritual journey that is the Anglican way.
St Patrick is a member church of the Diocese of The Missouri Valley of the
Anglican Church in America - a traditional, historic church, and a member of the
Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC). We use the ancient offices found in The
Book of Common Prayer. The beautiful language of our prayer book draws us
closer to God. The continual use of the matchless prayers contained within The
Book of Common Prayer offers us a window onto faith, holding us together as a
community that meets in Jesus’ name.
We believe firmly that, in today's complex and often troubled world, God's love and
protection are essential to a healthy physical, moral and spiritual life. We affirm
that the Holy Bible contains all things necessary for salvation. We believe that the
sacraments represent outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace. It is
our lasting commitment to protect the ancient treasures and teachings of the church,
recognizing that these treasures provide the only true shelter for our passage
through this temporal life. They are indeed gifts from God; it is our task to care for
them, to preserve them and to pass them on to other faithful Christians.
St Patrick continues to grow. We invite you to join us, to bring your gifts to God
and to participate in a transcendent experience of building His church.
