Welcome to St. Francis!
We welcome you to join us in a warm and friendly setting for true,
Christ-centered worship. We uphold the ancient faith of the Church in
the Anglican tradition, offering traditional Christian values based on the
Holy Word of God, and are faithful witnesses to the person of Jesus in the
Austin community.
St. Francis' liturgical standard is the 1928 Book of Common Prayer—a
document which is orthodox in its expression of the Christian faith based
on prayers that have been part of catholic worship for 2000 years.
In a world where biblical values seem to change with each new interpretation,
St. Francis Anglican Church stands for biblical truth which does not change
with each passing generation. If you are concerned about shifting social
mores, want to be the Christian that God wants you to be and need guidance on
that often difficult path, and want to be challenged each week to work toward
that goal, we hope that you will visit and experience our worship and values
first hand.

helping the students remember so that they can practice what is taught.
All St. Francis youth and friends are warmly welcomed.
