Mission Statement
“The Canterbury Mission Society is a Biblically-based society dedicated to making and strengthening disciples of Jesus Christ.”
History
The Canterbury Mission Society was formed on September 15, 2005 for the purpose of providing support and encouragement to groups wishing to worship in the historic Anglican tradition. The Society’s initial specific function was to provide financial and other support to the congregation of the Church of Saint Andrew and Saint Philip as it separated from the Episcopal Church and became the Church of The Apostles. The Canterbury Mission Society purchased the church property from the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, and it is still technically the owner of that property. Since then, almost all of the Society’s activities have been directly connected to the activities of Church of The Apostles, and all Active Members of Church of The Apostles are automatically designated as members of The Canterbury Mission Society.Board of Directors
