To bring the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and to help people come to know him, explore their own faith and grow together. To be a church that speaks of an unchanging God, a symbol of stability in a changing world, revealed to us in the Bible. The AIC begun in the 1970's as a repose to an Anglican Church that was increasingly straying from the teachings of the bible and the traditions of the chu
rch and 'selling its soul' to an increasingly liberalising culture, letting go of its beliefs and watering down its message. The AIC seeks to be a symbol of stability anchored in the bible and the traditions of a 2,000 year old church and the Jewish faith before that. We believe we should follow the will of our almighty God who is all seeing and all knowing; in humility we should accept that we are limited and imperfect being. So church governance should be utterly reliant on God for its guidance. This has and is best revealed in the Holy Scriptures and in the traditions of the Church. We are not alone in our faith, but we walk where billions have walked before. Becoming a Christian means becoming part of a family with over 2.2 billion members! Worldwide the AIC has more than 80 million members and is growing rapidly. Some of the strongest growth throughout the southern cone. It retains much of Anglican teaching in its identity, shaped by the original teachings of the founders of the church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Reformation and the Holy Scriptures. It has clear, no-nonsense child protection policy. The AIC has bishop's whose consecration was overseen by Roman Catholic Clergy and therefore, unlike the Anglican church, can trace its apostolic succession right back to Peter and the apostles who originally founded the church, the manifestation of Christ's body here on earth. You are most welcome to join and be part of this international success story, we are a church, like Christ, open to all.
