Iona Community Anglican Church Vancouver Service Times

Denomination: Anglican Church

We’re a small, warm, family-friendly gathering of Anglican Christians in the Greater Vancouver area. We are serious about following Christ in all areas of our lives and in genuine community with each other.

Life is hard, but it’s harder when we’re alone. We’re wired for community, but community doesn’t exist without its challenges. Life together means we are doing life—all of life—together! It means we’re committed to one another, in the good times and the bad.

For us, worship is not just a service or an "event" on Sundays—it's a lifestyle. A phrase we use a lot around here is “life together in the goodness of God.”

But our community isn’t insular: as Christians on a mission, we are committed to the city. We see the area around our meeting space and our homes as our "parish" and actively seek the good of the city.

Worship with us on Sundays @ 10:30 am at 2400 Grant St, Vancouver, WA

Iona is a Liturgical Church

Our worship service is a traditional Anglican Communion or Eucharist Service. It is a reflective and joyous service that combines readings from the Bible, a blend of hymns and modern worship songs, ancient prayer practices, and communion.

Our liturgy (which means ‘the work of the people’) is grounded in practices dating back to the early church and is a common script we use for worship. It helps keep us all on the same page, while giving us room for the Spirit. These liturgies connect the body of Christ today with the Historic Church.

Our liturgical practices are governed by the Latin phrase "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi," which essentially means “the rule (law) of prayer is the rule of faith.” In other words, how you worship demonstrates what you believe.

Our liturgy shows what Christians have done since the beginning of the Church in Acts 2—namely, they gather for the apostles’ teaching, prayer, fellowship, and breaking bread (communion).
