About the ACiC
Welcome to the Anglican Coalition in Canada website! If you are looking for one of our churches or fellowships, you can find a list of churches here. Anyone of the pastors would be happy to speak with you and answer any questions you might have about our ministries and missions.
Who We Are
We are a group of Anglican congregations and churches whose beliefs and ministry are established on the firm foundation of Holy Scripture. The ACiC believes that we have been called to bring the good news of the gospel to the 20 million Canadians who do not know Jesus Christ.
The ACiC is a missionary outreach of the Anglican Province of Rwanda and work closely with the Anglican Misson in the Americas.
What Does Our Worship Look Like?
Our churches are quite eclectic in their styles, from very Evangelical to Charismatic, from the liturgically Anglo-Catholic where robes and formal liturgy are the norm, to those who are very informal and free flowing. In some the music is traditional hymnody, in others very contemporary and in most a blend of both. Whatever your preference you will find anointed & responsive worship, solid biblical teaching, loving fellowship and a challenge to live out your faith in the community. The great thing is all of these are authentically Anglican! Come and see what the Lord is doing.
New Ministry in the ACiC
The ACiC strives to be Incarnational (that is in the midst of the community), Missional (that is focused outwards and about others) and faithful to the call of the gospel to love as we have been loved. If you are a church planter who is excited by what you have seen and experienced here and who believes that the Anglican Coalition in Canada might be the place for you to live out your calling, please contact the The Rev. Peter Klenner at pklenner@interchange.ubc.ca or by phone at (604) 209-5570. I would be glad to speak with you about future possibilities.
Mission and Vision
Our Mission and Vision
The Anglican Coalition in Canada (ACiC) is a missionary movement focused on raising up vibrant and authentic Christians through organic congregations and a lifestyle of Christlikeness.
Our Purpose
We exist to empower a fresh expression of Anglicans across Canada who are devoted daily to their journey in Christ and expressing their faith in the living out of the Great Commission.
Our Strategies
The ACiC strategies will always seek to be simple, focused and deep in their impact. The four components of our strategies are the following:
1. Discipling - Connecting people to God and each other to create a relational climate for raising up disciples and disciplers.
2. Evangelizing - Creating a climate where disciples and disciplers become missional in both lifestyle and practice.
3. Mentoring - Providing mentoring and coaching for clergy and leaders to equip and empower them for missional ministry and greater impact in God’s Kingdom work.
4. Planting - The raising up of church planters and new congregations that emerges out of the discipling, missional ministry and the coaching of leaders. We will provide resources for our congregations and their leaders to live out this strategy.
