Welcome to St. Francis!
We welcome you to join us in a warm and friendly setting for true,
Christ-centered worship. We maintain the ancient faith of the Church in
the Anglican tradition, upholding 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.
Parish activities
Weekday Worship Services
Evening Prayer: Thursdays at 7 p.m. During this simple but beautiful
service, the prayers and lessons are said and the canticles are sung without
accompaniment. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Christian Education
Sunday school classes are underway for the 2024-25 school year.
Classes for all ages meet at 9:30 AM, September through June. There are
two classes for youth: one for children in grades 5 and under, and one
for grade 6 and beyond. All classes are Biblically based with activities
geared to helping the students remember so that they can practice what
is taught. There is also a class for adults, running concurrently.
All St. Francis members, guests, and friends are warmly welcomed.
Prayer Groups
St. Francis has an active intercessory group. If you would like to place a name on the list, please use the prayer intention box on the south side of the church to submit your request.
Prayers for the Nation: This monthly service is scheduled for the first Saturday of each month. Join us at 10 AM in the parish hall for hymns, prayers – both printed and extemporaneous – on seven centers of prayer: Government, Church, Family, Military, Education, Business, and Media/Entertainment.
St. Francis Home Groups
Our home groups are ready to welcome anyone who wishes to join them.
