What is the Anglican Church?
We believe the way forward involves staying connected to our rooted past. The Anglican Tradition emerged in England during the reformation in the 1500’s, but many of our beliefs and practices can be traced all the way back to the early church. We describe ourselves as a contemporary expression of the one holy worldwide church.
St. Andrew’s Anglican Church history
The beginning of St. Andrew’s Anglican goes back many years. While Frederick was and is a thriving community in central Maryland, there was no Anglican Church here. Leadership in the Anglican Diocese of the Mid Atlantic envisioned and prayed for a church in Frederick. In recent years, a small number of lay people living in or near Frederick gathered to continue to pray for a local Anglican community. With the guidance and encouragement of diocesan leadership, they began to take small steps towards planting a church. In the summer of 2024 diocesan leadership called Reverend Seth Zimmerman to lead this group in planting an Anglican church in Frederick. We would love for you to come be part of our story!
