St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of St. Francis Anglican Church
"Almighty God,
and You, my Lord Jesus Christ,
I pray You to enlighten me
and to dispel the darkness of my spirit;
Give me a faith that is without limit,
a hope that is ever unfailing,
and a love that is universal.
Grant, O my God,
that I may really know You
and that I may be guided in all
things according to Your will."
St. Francis of Assisi

Welcome to St. Francis!

We welcome you as you 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 sometimes 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.

St. Francis is a parish of the Episcopal Missionary Church.
