Who we are
We’re a small, warm, family-friendly gathering of Anglican Christians in the Greater Vancouver area. We are serious about following Christ in all areas of our lives and in genuine community with each other.
Life is hard, but it’s harder when we’re alone. We’re wired for community, but community doesn’t exist without its challenges. Life together means we are doing life—all of life—together! It means we’re committed to one another, in the good times and the bad.
For us, worship is not just a service or an "event" on Sundays—it's a lifestyle. A phrase we use a lot around here is “life together in the goodness of God.”
But our community isn’t insular: as Christians on a mission, we are committed to the city. We see the area around our meeting space and our homes as our "parish" and actively seek the good of the city.

Iona Community Anglican Church Service Times
Worship with us on Sundays @ 10:30 am at 2400 Grant St, Vancouver, WA
Iona is a Liturgical Church
Our worship service is a traditional Anglican Communion or Eucharist Service. It is a reflective and joyous service that combines readings from the Bible, a blend of hymns and modern worship songs, ancient prayer practices, and communion.
Our liturgy (which means ‘the work of the people’) is grounded in practices dating back to the early church and is a common script we use for worship. It helps keep us all on the same page, while giving us room for the Spirit. These liturgies connect the body of Christ today with the Historic Church.
Our liturgical practices are governed by the Latin phrase "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi," which essentially means “the rule (law) of prayer is the rule of faith.” In other words, how you worship demonstrates what you believe.
Our liturgy shows what Christians have done since the beginning of the Church in Acts 2—namely, they gather for the apostles’ teaching, prayer, fellowship, and breaking bread (communion).
It's been more than a year since the last service times update. Please make sure to contact the church to confirm service times.

Iona Community Anglican Church History
Our Story
The original Iona is both a Scottish island and the name of a monastery established by an Irish priest, St. Columba, in 563 AD. This monastery, a Celtic Christian community, was very influential in bringing the faith back to England after invaders had nearly wiped it out.
Living in this community, people learned about Christ and used their lives in creative ways to bring others to faith in Christ. Though the community fell into disrepair centuries later, Rev. George MacLeod re-established it as a renewal center in 1938. It exists today as an ecumenical Christian community.
Fast-forward to today! Our Iona Community started as an Anglican Church plant in Vancouver, Washington during the October of 2013. The spirit of what Columba established in the original Iona Community seemed like a fitting aspiration for our church plant in the Pacific Northwest.
Since then, we have taken on this ancient example of creatively engaging the world around us with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Instead of a monastery, we are a missional community. We want Iona to be a safe place of hope and healing, where people can learn about the reality of the hope we've experienced in the risen Christ.
What’s an Anglican?
The word "Anglican" refers to the Christian church that was brought to the land of the Angles (England) in the 2nd century by Roman Christians. For that reason, it is evangelical and missionary by nature. The Anglican church has a rich and ancient history that is part Patristic (early church), part Celtic, part Roman, and part Orthodox.
During the Reformation in the 15th century, the western church underwent some very necessary reforms (both Protestant and Catholic). Although the English Church moved away from Roman control, it remained catholic, meaning it stayed faithful to the beliefs held universally by all Christians. Lastly, as the Anglican church traces its lineage back to the early Apostles, it also believes in the Holy Spirit. This means we are also apostolic and charismatic.
Some would call the Anglican Church the Reformed Catholic church, while some would call it a Liturgical Protestant church. No matter the title, we are a faithful orthodox Christian Church, characterized by ancient and sacramental worship, evangelical and missionary zeal, and a catholic and charismatic nature.
Today, "Anglican" refers more to a global church than being English—it's the third largest branch of Christianity. This is especially true because the majority of Anglicans live outside England. In Nigeria, there are more Anglicans than in all of England, the US, and Canada combined!
This is an impossibly short explanation, and very general, but its purpose is to give you a quick overview. If you would like to dig deeper, you can reach out to Fr. Mike or check out the following websites: the Diocese of Cascadia (our regional grouping of churches led by our bishop, who is a pastor to pastors), the Anglican Church in North America (the larger Province comprising all of the dioceses in this region), or the Global Anglican Future Conference’s website (to learn about the worldwide Anglican movement).

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
