About Us
Welcome to Christ’s Chapel Anglican Church! We are a vibrant community of sinners, saved by grace alone, who come together each week to worship our gracious God in the heart of Riverside, California.​
At Christ’s Chapel, we believe that the Scriptures are the foundation of our faith and practice. Guided by God’s Word, we engage in worship that is both reverent and joyful, creating space for spiritual growth and fellowship. Our liturgical services reflect our commitment to the theological depth, historical richness, and transformative power of the Christian faith.

Our community is diverse, encompassing people of all ages and backgrounds, united in our desire to follow Jesus Christ and to live out His teachings in our daily lives.

We hope to meet you soon!
Our Values
Biblical
Liturgical
Formational
Communal
At Christ's Chapel, we look to the Scriptures for guidance in all matters of faith and practice, which leads us into reverent liturgical worship. These liturgical patterns are formational, shaping how we live our daily lives as the power of the gospel transforms us into a community that embodies and reflects Jesus in everything we do.
We Follow the Classical Anglican Way…
ONE Canon of Holy Scripture (The Bible), with its
TWO Testaments, understood with the faith expressed in the
THREE Creeds (Apostles’, Nicene, Athanasian) and by the doctrinal teaching of the first
FOUR ecumenical councils (Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus, Chalcedon), within the developing life and tradition of the first
FIVE centuries of the Christian era
What We Believe
At Christ’s Chapel Anglican Church, we hold the Bible as the absolute authority for our faith and practice. We believe in the divine inspiration, infallibility, and sufficiency of Scripture. God's Word serves as our guide, providing timeless wisdom, moral principles, and a revelation of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.
We affirm the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion as a concise statement of Anglican doctrinal beliefs. These articles, rooted in the Reformation tradition, articulate our understanding of God, salvation, and the Church. They provide a doctrinal framework that unites Anglicans worldwide, emphasizing the importance of scripture, the creeds, and the sacraments.
​
As Anglicans we uphold and subscribe to our traditional Formularies because we believe they are in accordance with Holy Scripture:
-
The Book of Common Prayer locally adapted in conformity to the standards set by the 1662 edition.
-
The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, locally adapted in conformity to the standards set in 1563.
-
The Ordinal, locally adapted in conformity to the standards set in 1549.
