Holy Apostles was founded in 1993 by a group of Episcopalians whose only desire was to continue to worship in the true faith handed down from the Apostles. They knew that the Episcopal Church (ECUSA) had departed from the historic faith, and had therefore departed from them.
We are not a new denomination. We are the church as it was for centuries prior to the 1976 Minneapolis General Convention. We believe we did not leave the Episcopal Church (ECUSA), but that that church left us, by the major change in doctrine brought on by the new prayer book and the ordination of women and gay clergy.
We are part of the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC), a worldwide body of Anglicans spread across six continents.
Holy Apostles Anglican Church represents Christianity in the Anglican tradition. Our beliefs hold to the historic teachings of the church. We use the ancient method of the church, called the anglican Three-legged Stool, to prove what the church should teach and what you as laity need to believe for salvation. The Three-legged stool is simply that everything must pass all three of the following tests: First, it must be found in Holy Scripture. Second, it must be historical; and third, it must be reasonable.
Located at 142 E. Lake Street in downtown Pewaukee, Wisconsin, our church was built in 1899 by a group of farmers in the area. Restored after a lightening strike in 2007, Holy Apostles retains the historical facade and interior of the 1899 church.
