About St. Anselm's Episcopal Church
-
Welcome to St. Anselm Episcopal/Anglican Church
Saint Anselm is one of thousands of congregations in the Episcopal/Anglican Church. We are a member of the Diocese of Southwest Florida led by Bishop Dabney Smith. We are also a member of a subdivision of this diocese called a deanery. We belong to the Fort Myers Deanery. Our current dean is William Dodd from Saint Michael's and All Angels of Sanibel Island.
Saint Anselm Episcopal/Anglican Church has been serving Lehigh Acres since April 23, 1961 when services were first held in the offices of the Lehigh Acres Development Company. We are a Christ-centered congregation of love, spirituality, service, and evangelism.
Saint Anselm is a family of God that is seeking to know God and to make God known. We seek to discover what God intends for us to be and to do in God's world.
Our Purpose is to:
1. Continuously participate in a personal relationship with Jesus and constantly experience and express delight and joy in all aspects of our lives because of that relationship.
2. Proclaim Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, so that we and others will come to know Him more fully as Savior and follow Him as Lord.
3. Make visible the Good News of Jesus Christ through our fellowship and sharing.
4. Be a witness for Jesus to the world by word and example through talking about him and serving him both within and outside the church.
Our Mission Statement
By the power of God working in us, we seek to renew our lives daily. We pledge to be guided and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, and we commit to show Faith, Hope, and Love in action.
