A handful of other congregations, including All Saints Anglican Church in Charlotte, NC, Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Raleigh, NC and Saint John\u2019s Anglican Church of Americus, GA have also announced building plans. This summer All Saints\u2019 Anglican Church in Springfield, MO and All Saints\u2019 Anglican Church in Peachtree City, GA, completed and consecrated new church buildings.<\/p>\n
The churches range from a modest colonial-revival brick building in the case of Restoration to a 30,000-square-foot gothic structure built for the congregation of St. Peter\u2019s.<\/p>\n
In addition to making the churches more visible in their communities and accommodating growth in the size of congregations, the new structures are allowing for new programs and events. St. Peter\u2019s is partnering with Trinity School for Ministry to offer theological education far from the seminary\u2019s Ambridge, Pennsylvania campus. Other congregations plan to use their news space for conferences, or to begin hosting programs such as Vacation Bible School which were impractical or not possible in leased spaces.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new church is just the beginning of what we hope to build,\u201d\u009d explained Fr. Andrew Rowell, associate rector of St. Peter\u2019s Anglican Church.<\/p>\n
