Anglican Mainstream is a community within the Anglican Communion dedicated to upholding, teaching, and preserving the Scriptural truths that form the foundation of the Anglican Church. These truths ensure our continued fellowship with Christians throughout history and across the globe. We believe that faithfulness to Scripture, as God’s Word, is crucial for sharing God’s love and purpose through Jesus Christ.
As a global coalition, Anglican Mainstream supports the worldwide gospel ministry of the Anglican Church and collaborates with other organizations and networks that share this mission. We believe that Christian mission and service to a hurting and needy world can only thrive when grounded in and obedient to the Word of God.
