Ghanaian Community Anglican Church

Crafting successful futures with timeless guidance

The Ghanaian Community Anglican Church, USA – Virginia is a mission‑focused congregation under the Anglican Church of Ghana, which forms part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our mission is to serve the spiritual needs of Ghanaians and friends in the diaspora through:

  • Anglican liturgical worship that honours God and follows the historic Book of Common Prayer.

  • Culturally relevant ministry that celebrates our heritage and speaks to the realities of diaspora life.

  • Community outreach and discipleship that extend Christ’s love to our neighbours and help believers grow in faith.

  • Fellowship rooted in Ghanaian values of unity, respect and love.

Our church is led by Rev. Nana Yaw Amankwah, who, together with our team of ministers and lay leaders, seeks to create a spiritual home where faith, culture and community flourish.

About Us

Statement of Faith

We affirm the historic creeds of the Christian Church and hold the following as core truths of our faith:

  • The Holy Trinity

    We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three persons in one divine essence.

  • Jesus Christ

    We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will come again in glory.

  • The Holy Scriptures

    We believe the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living.

  • Salvation

    We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, leading to repentance, forgiveness of sins, and new life in Him.

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe in the active presence of the Holy Spirit, who convicts, sanctifies, empowers believers, and equips the Church with spiritual gifts for ministry and service.

  • The Sacraments

    We believe in the two sacraments ordained by Christ—Baptism and Holy Communion—as outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace.

  • The Church

    We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, called to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and serve the world in love and truth.

  • Christian Hope

    We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the life everlasting, and the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom according to His promises.
