Statement of Faith
We believe in the fundamental truths of the Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
Our statement of faith is based on the historic Christian creeds and the authority of Scripture. We are committed to sound biblical teaching and the proclamation of the Gospel.
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our History
The International Anglican Revival Ministries was established to serve the growing international and multicultural community in Edmonton, particularly those from African backgrounds seeking a place of worship that honors both Anglican tradition and Pentecostal expression.
Our church community reflects the diversity of God's kingdom, bringing together people from various backgrounds, languages, and cultures to worship and serve together in unity.
Founded with a vision to bridge cultures and languages, our church began as a small gathering of believers committed to sharing the Gospel in both English and Kinyarwanda.
Over the years, we have grown into a vibrant community that serves not only the local Edmonton area but also extends our ministry to support vulnerable communities in Africa.
Today, we continue to be a beacon of hope, providing spiritual guidance, community support, and practical assistance to those in need, both locally and globally.
