From our humble beginning in 2013 as an autonomous expression of the Convergence Movement, to our recent standing as a diocese of the Worldwide Anglican Church (WAC), the Free Anglican Diocese of California is an ecumenical union of Anglicans, Baptists, and Charismatics whom have always labored to be equal parts Pentecostal/Charismatic, Evangelical, and Sacramental.

Today, we are “A People Called Anglo-Baptists™” who embrace our new identity as a Christian body with the charismatic heart of a Pentecostal, the liturgical soul of an Anglican, and the evangelical spirit of a Baptist.

 

 

 

On behalf of the Free Anglican Diocese of California, Saint Martin’s Chapel is a congregational member of the historic Progressive National Baptist Convention, with Bishop Parker serving as its Senior Pastor.  Through his Anglican orders to the episcopacy in pursuit of a principled ecumenism, Bishop Parker hands down his apostolic succession to all our locally ordained senior clergy.

 

In pursuit of racial reconciliation, Saint Martin’s Chapel also maintains affiliation with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
