Rooted in History, Alive in Faith
Ancient Faith. Apostolic Order. Living Tradition.
The Holy Catholic Church Anglican Rite stands in unbroken continuity with the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church — tracing its orders through the historic episcopate and its worship through the classical Anglican tradition.

Holy Sacraments
Apostolic Succession
Our bishops, priests, and deacons stand in the unbroken line of apostolic ordination, ensuring the validity of our sacraments and the continuity of the Church's ministry.
Holy Scripture
We hold the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God — the supreme rule of faith and practice, read and proclaimed at every service in the classical Anglican tradition.
Creedal Orthodoxy
We confess the Nicene and Apostles' Creeds without addition or subtraction, standing with the universal Church in the faith once delivered to the saints.
Traditional Worship
Our liturgy follows the classical Book of Common Prayer, uniting us with generations of Anglican worshippers in reverent, sacramental, and Scripture-saturated worship.

Amen.

What Visitors & Members Say
I walked in not knowing what to expect and left feeling I had encountered something ancient and true. The liturgy, the reverence, the warmth of the people — I have not worshipped anywhere else since.
Margaret T.
Parishioner since 2019
As a cradle Anglican who had drifted away, finding St. James was like coming home. The traditional Mass, the real apostolic orders, the faithful preaching — this is the Church I had been searching for.
Robert H.
Confirmed 2021
Holy Grounds Café drew me in first, but the Sunday Mass kept me. The community here is genuine, the worship is beautiful, and the teaching is solid. I bring every visitor I can.
