An Un-American church in America???

I wondered if it existed. I've always searched for an American church that doesn't pride itself on being "seeker-friendly," relevant, emergent, contemporary, careful, etc. Well, I have found one. The International Anglican Church of Colorado Springs is part of the Anglican missionary movement of Rwanda, committed to reaching the unchurched of America. The Anglican Mission was established by Anglicans from Africa and Asia, deeply troubled by the spiritual crisis in this land that sent missionaries to them for generations. For many this is quite the paradox. Aren't we as Americans supposed to go to the Global South to plant churches there and reach the unchurched? Doesn't it seem backwards that the Africans and Asians are coming to "Christian" America? Don't we have enough churches here? No, no we don't. Not enough churches like this one. We have enough "American" churches, but we need more international churches. The International Anglican Church is just what I have been looking for.
Here is what the website says:
Today, more than ever, we live in a world full of paradoxes. We have more ways than ever to "be connected" electronically, yet we often feel lonely and isolated. We have all kinds of technology to enhance and prolong life but often miss the joy in that life. Outside appearances may say that we are strong and secure, yet many things in our lives are transitory and unstable. Our lives are often full and we are "on the go," yet we lack any sense of real or enduring purpose and often question our worth.
All too often, all that churches offer in the midst of all these paradoxes we face is a list of things we should or should not do -- not helping us navigate through our world, but increasing our guilt and burden.
Jesus has so much more for us.
The International Anglican Church is a people gathered to discover and delight in that "so much more" of Jesus and share this good news with others. Through relevant Biblical teaching; dynamic and Spirit-led worship that is contemporary, ancient and international; prayer; nurturing relationships and compassionate service, we step out of a world bound by confusion and empty promises and step into the spaciousness and life of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are open to all who are looking for a church home or who merely want to explore what the Christian faith has to say about the issues and questions of life we all face.
Whether you simply want to explore who Jesus Christ is and the foundations of the Christian faith or whether you want to move deeper in your relationship with Jesus Christ, you will find the International Anglican Church to be a welcoming and challenging community of faith.

The service is about 2 hours long filled with worship (no light shows and just the basic instruments), communion, prayer, sermon based on readings from the OT, NT, and Gospel, and liturgy. The service is very structured but in a good way. Also, the congregation is very diverse. You get a sense that you are connected to the Global South...the whole service is based off of African church services.

So, as I move to the Springs I will be much closer to IAC and I have decided to make it my church home and to get plugged in. I already have some friends who attend this church so it is nice to walk right into community. It is also nice that the congregation every Sunday never reaches more than 150 people...feel more like a family!
