About Us

In the fall of 2000, several couples came together to try to hear God’s voice for their lives. Certainly, these people did not have planting a church in mind nor had they heard of the just-founded Anglican Mission in America (AMiA).

“We only knew we had a hunger in our spirits that we could not quench. We met on Wednesday nights in homes to pray, to search the Scriptures, share a meal and just be together in caring fellowship with one another.Over the next year or so, we began to sense something happening within us, an excitement, a holy whisper to surrender ourselves more intentionally into His hands, wherever He might lead us.”

In January 2001, several couples traveled to Pawley’s Island, South Carolina and were energized with the new developments in the establishment and growth of the Anglican Mission in America. The women of the group were led to initiate “The Call to Discipleship” Bible study developed by Erilynne Barnum, which continues to be a growing ministry in the Jackson area.

By February 2003, these couples, sensing the leading of the Holy Spirit, voted unanimously to seek to plant an Anglican Mission church in this area. The group met with the AMiA’s Bishop T. J. Johnson and David Young, both from St. Andrew’s Church in Little Rock, to begin that process. The first public information meeting was held in November 2003. Holy Trinity Anglican Church was thereupon formed and now grows in number and in the Spirit, as we follow His lead and growth in grace and knowledge of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

We continue to seek to establish a church that is founded on God’s Holy Word and committed to the truth that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. We believe God is calling us to be a people of prayer, of evangelism and of discipleship through His mission. We are united in the desire for a liturgical form of worship rooted in the Scriptures as the Word of God. Our fellowship represents the three streams of scriptural, sacramental and spirit-filled, but these worship preferences are considered to be three streams converging into one river of life.

Our purpose is to know Christ and make Him known to the unchurched in the Jackson metropolitan area, in Mississippi and to the ends of the earth.
