Our Story
Forged in faith and shaped by the Spirit, the Anglican Diocese of the Rocky Mountains began as a bold response to God’s call, uniting hearts to proclaim the Gospel in truth and grace.
The story of the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains is, at its heart, one of people shaped by mission—a mission that transcends structures, breaks boundaries, and transforms lives.
Anglicanism is a biblically rich and historically grounded context which we embody as a way of participating in God’s work in the world. Our Anglican heritage helps us proclaim the Gospel, plant churches, and form communities that embody the hope and restoration found in Jesus.
The theological roots of the diocese are in the Anglican Reformation in the 16th century, which recaptured the biblical truths of the grace and good news of the gospel. The spiritual roots of diocese are in the East African Revival and the Anglican Church of Rwanda. Several of our congregations had been under the pastoral oversight of the Rwandan Anglican Church for more than a decade before the formation of this diocese. This relationship not only shaped our beginnings but continues to define who we are and how we approach ministry.
At the heart of our identity is a deep passion for mission—not just enthusiasm but a willingness to sacrifice for the Gospel. The Diocese of the Rocky Mountains is committed to proclaiming the Gospel and planting Christ-centered communities. Shaped by global partnerships and a passion for holistic ministry, we will continue, by God’s grace, to bear witness, with humility and boldness, to the restoration that Jesus is bringing to all creation.
