The Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO) is an Anglican diocese built on five key values: Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission, Sacrament. Learn more in Values.
C4SO began as a church planting movement in 2009 in the Anglican Mission in the Americas. The Anglican Church in North America’s Provincial Council approved our formation as a diocese in June 2013, and our common life is ordered by our C4SO Canons [updated in 2021]. Now, we unite churches and leaders located primarily in California, Texas, the Midwest, the South, and the East, organized by Regional Deaneries. In these diverse contexts, we seek to develop ministry from the mission field back—contextualizing our tradition for a given ministry setting. We are also involved in planting churches in collaboration with other dioceses and denominations throughout the United States.
ANGLICAN CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA
Holy Trinity Church is part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), one of 40 regions within the global Anglican Communion in more than 165 countries around the world. ACNA unites Anglicans in more than 1,000 congregations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a single visible Church. The Most Rev. Dr. Foley Beach is the Archbishop of ACNA.
CHURCHES FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS
Holy Trinity Church is part of the Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO), which is under the oversight of Bishop Todd Hunter and built on five key values: Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission, and Sacrament.
Kingdom – The kingdom of God is the central theme of Jesus’ words and works. He invites his disciples on a journey to learn to announce, demonstrate, and embody kingdom realities – and to do so for the salvation, healing, and deliverance of others.
Spirit – Full-orbed discipleship to Jesus requires a power that matches his call. This is the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit energizes, equips, and empowers the Church to live into its mission.
Formation – Spiritual transformation is the Spirit-led (re)creative work of God, forming our whole person into the image and likeness of Christ. We seek to reflect the pattern of Jesus established during his life and ministry: a journey inward and a journey outward.
Mission – The Church is the family of God, body of Christ, and temple of the Spirit. As a sign, foretaste, and instrument of the kingdom of God, we seek to live constant lives of creative goodness for the sake of others.
Sacrament – Through the sacraments, the Church is assured of God’s faithfulness to his promises and nourished by God’s real presence. Then we seek to share what we receive – God’s life for the life of the world.
