Be ye sure that the Lord he is God;
It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people,
And the sheep of His pasture.
Our Belief
Holy Angels Anglican Church is a traditional Anglican parish of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, and a member of the Anglican Province of America, which is part of the worldwide traditional Anglican movement.
Our tradition is often called the "Continuing Church." We profess the continuing Christian Faith as revealed to the Apostles, recorded in Holy Scripture, enshrined in the three Creeds and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the ancient undivided Church, and received through the Church of England.
Our traditional Anglicanism faithfully maintains the Catholic and Apostolic liturgy as expressed in the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. Our Church believes in the fullness of the Christian Gospel and we offer the same Seven Sacraments of the historic Catholic Church.
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one Godthe Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
And of all things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God;
Begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God,
Light of Light,
Very God of very God;
Begotten, not made;
being of one substance with the Father;
By whom all things were made:
Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,
And was made man:
And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried:
And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures:
And ascended into heaven,
And sits on the right hand of the Father:
And he shall come again, with glory,
to judge both the quick and the dead;
Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost,
The Lord, and Giver of Life,
Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;
Who spake by the Prophets:
And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church:
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins:
And I look for the Resurrection of the dead:
And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

Our History
Historically, we started-out as St. Michael’s Anglican Church in Wilsonville, Oregon and as a home church at the residence of the then Rector, The Very Rev. Canon Robert Hawkins (Fr. Bob) in 2004. As the congregation rapidly grew, rental space at a local church was found and then re-located to the Frog Pond Grange Hall on Stafford Road in Wilsonville. St. Michael’s remained there until this year, when a dwindling congregation forced a decision to relocate here.
This home church began a few years ago as a mission of St. Michael’s and was known in the neighborhood then, as it is now, Holy Angels Anglican Church.
Now, we have joined together with St. Michael's as one church and are praying for new vitality and growth as we continue to focus on worshiping Our Lord. We are not here to entertain, but to offer praise and thanksgiving to God. However, several of our members have commented that they feel a joy and sense of fulfillment in themselves emanating from our services, that transcends any other church service they have experienced in the past, as they sense God’s presence among us and the peace that brings about knowing that God and his angels are with and among us here at Holy Angels Anglican Church.
We invite you to come and join us in worship and prayer every Sunday at 10:00 A.M., as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
