Who We Are

Get To Know Us!

Saint Michaels and All Angels...

Is a mission church of the autocephalous International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church (ICCEC).

Our Mission is to be a healing church to a hurting world, enabling all persons to find the joy and salvation of God’s Grace.

Our commitment is to Beauty, Truth and Goodness. Beauty as a part of our worship experience (icons, symbols, liturgy etc.). Truth by providing a strong teaching ministry through Bible study, Preaching and Catechism instruction. Goodness as expressed by our hospitality to visitors.

Liturgy is the public worship service of the Church, corresponding to the official service of the Temple in the Old Law. The word liturgy is from the Greek word leitourgia, and the most common translation is "the work of the people."

It is that common act of God's people together offering praise and thanksgiving to Him in the manner He revealed that they should.

Saint Michael and All Angels worships using a standard Charismatic Liturgy reflecting the "Three Streams" tradition established by the ancient church. The content and flow of this worship mirrors that described in the Second Century Didache and Apology of Justin Martyr documents.

The traditional liturgical framework common to the universal church is enhanced by both formal and informal Praise music and openness to the various "Charisma" or Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Words of Knowledge, Special prayer requests, Spiritual insights, anointing, Laying on of Hands, and other enrichment's by, or responses to, the people are permitted and encouraged. We believe that the Liturgy is a framework, not a straitjacket. Whether ordained or laity, our worship is indeed, "The work of the people".

We're Fully Sacramental

At the center of worship is the sacrament of Holy Eucharist (The Lord’s Supper) in which, we believe is the real presence of Christ. We maintain the validity of God’s grace imparted through the seven traditional sacraments of the Church (i.e., Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Confession & Reconciliation, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Healing/Unction).

It is that common act of God's people together offering praise and thanksgiving to Him in the manner He revealed that they should.

We're Evangelical

We are a church that adheres to a high view of Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, believing them to contain all things necessary for salvation to be contained therein: We are committed to the preaching of the Gospel to fulfill the great commission of Jesus to go and make disciples. We believe that we are saved by grace alone and justified by faith in Christ who is calling us to a personal relationship with Him.

We're Charismatic

We are a church open to the historic working of the Holy Spirit. We believe that through the baptism of the Holy Spirit all believers are empowered to participate in the fullness of ministry. The baptism of the Holy Spirit releases in the believer, both the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit for the building up of the church and the advancement of the Kingdom.
