Assessment

Church of the Incarnation is an ACNA church plant serving western Henrico County, meeting at Gayton Road Christian Church on Sundays at 9am. The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) formed in 2009 when conservative Anglicans broke from the progressive Episcopal Church (TEC) over Scripture authority, sexuality, and leadership. ACNA holds to the 39 Articles, male clergy, traditional Anglican liturgy, and biblical sexual ethics — a clean break from TEC's progressive drift. The church's stated core values are compelling: 'Biblical teaching for the head and the heart; Spiritual formation through liturgy and sacrament; A life of prayer together; Gospel care for those in need; Discipleship of the next generation.' This is Word-and-sacrament Anglicanism done right. Strong option for men who love liturgical worship rooted in Scripture.
