Who We Are
CCV is part of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA), a Diocese of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). We planted CCV out of The Falls Church Anglican in November 2011. As an Anglican church, we are governed through Bishops, Presbyters (elders or pastors) and Deacons; lay leaders and a Church Council (vestry). We are connected to the Anglican Church worldwide, so we partner in missions globally, and have long-term relationships with churches in Chile and Nepal.
What We Believe
The ACNA is a participant in the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON). For more information on what CCV believes and our Anglican heritage, see the Documentary Foundations in the back of The Book of Common Prayer 2019
The Jerusalem Declaration, adopted at the Global Anglican Futures Conference, (GAFCON) Jerusalem, 2008, is a succinct summary of the core beliefs of Christ Church Vienna and the ACNA.
