“A Parish Family for the Silicon Valley, Anchored in the Anglican Tradition.”
Saint Paul’s Anglican Church exists to nurture a Christ-centered community grounded in the Anglican tradition of the English Reformation.
We Worship Together
Each week our families gather together at the Lord’s Table for Holy Communion. God calls his people into his presence as a family in the presence of its Father. The whole congregation participates in worship. Our service includes readings with responses from the congregation, a profession of faith, and the Lord’s Prayer. In congregational singing we build one another up, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. In a profession of faith, we join the church through the ages in confessing the same faith. We worship together as a body united in Christ.
We Share Life Together
Our mission is to share life together as a vibrant community of faith. Our fellowship meals, deep friendship, and intimate small groups are essential to this mission, bringing parishioners together for fellowship, prayer, and the study of God’s Word. In these gatherings, members build meaningful connections where they know and are known, love and are loved, and serve and are served. While our larger worship services create a majestic atmosphere, our community focuses on fostering an environment of accountability and personal growth, enriching each member’s spiritual formation.
We Serve Together
We also help train Christians to becomes leaders in the arts, in business, in education, in politics, and in literature, and we seek to do all of this in gladness and simplicity of heart, as we pursue love for God and love for our neighbor. We are committed to teaching men and women how to live together in harmonious Christian marriage, ensuring that families thrive within our community. Additionally, we establish a family-friendly culture of Christian education where well-loved and well-disciplined children learn to stay the course in their faith.
One of our important outreach efforts is Canterbury Christian School, which aims to provide a classical education rooted in a Christian worldview. We are dedicated to nurturing a vibrant learning environment that attracts students and empowers dedicated teachers to inspire and educate. As we expand the school to include middle and high school programs, we focus on equipping students with the knowledge, character, and faith necessary to thrive in all areas of life. Through Canterbury, we seek to foster strong academic rigor alongside spiritual development, preparing the next generation of leaders to carry forward the values of our faith in their communities and beyond.
