Our churches and clergy are found across the United States as well as in Mexico and Colombia. We pray in English, Spanish, and Karen. We worship in beautiful 19th-century chapels and in rented banquet halls.
We are the historic, dynamic, and growing Diocese of Quincy.
Many church groups talk about making disciples, but few are committed to the get-your-hands-dirty work of intentional disciple making. Not us—we are committed to disciples, and that commitment drives our actions.
The Greek word for disciple means learner. That’s appropriate, for a disciple was one who followed a rabbi, meaning teacher. The Hebrew concept of learning is best understood as experiential learning. A disciple doesn’t just learn facts. A disciple learns a lifestyle.
A rabbi imparted to his disciples both his knowledge and his lifestyle. Disciples followed their rabbi through their daily lives, learning the complete lifestyle of the rabbi. Making disciples is what rabbis do. Rabbis were once disciples themselves. Making disciples is a highly-relational and highly-intentional process of imparting to others the lifestyle of following Jesus.
GAFCON is a global family of authentic Anglicans standing together to retain and restore the Bible to the heart of the Anglican Communion.
Our mission is to guard the unchanging, transforming Gospel of Jesus Christ and to proclaim Him to the world. We are founded on the Bible, bound together by the Jerusalem Statement and Declaration of 2008, and led by a Primates Council, which represents the majority of the world’s Anglicans.
GAFCON works to guard and proclaim the unchanging, transforming Gospel through biblically faithful preaching and teaching which frees our churches to make disciples by clear and certain witness to Jesus Christ in all the world.
The GAFCON journey began in 2008 when moral compromise, doctrinal error and the collapse of biblical witness in parts of the Anglican communion had reached such a level that the leaders of the majority of the world’s Anglicans felt it was necessary to take a united stand for truth.
A crowd of more than one thousand witnesses, including Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, clergy and lay leaders gathered in Jerusalem for the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON). The GAFCON Jerusalem 2018 Conference represented the majority of the world’s Anglicans with 1,950 delegates from 50 countries. Its impact was amplified as over 730,000 people from 64 different countries engaged with the conference online.
