"Reaching out
with faith, love and praise."

Looking for a church home?

Our mission statement captures three aspects of St. Anskar’s identity. We are a faithful community of Episcopalians who gather from a wide area each Sunday morning to praise God and share the Holy Eucharist. Growing in love implies our desire to build on our common goals, sense of fellowship, and feeling of belonging to a large extended family/community. We look to continue to grow in our expressions of praise to the God who created, redeemed and sustains us. The Rev. Andrea L. Wight is rector of St. Anskar Episcopal Church. Come meet her and the rest of our church family this Sunday.

Group raises $1,682
for  homeless youth project

Together, Partners for Faith, a group comprised of St. Anskar’s, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Spring Creek Congregational Church, and Temple Beth-El raised $1,682.25 this year to benefit the Northern Illinois Partnership for Homeless Youth through our Mother’s Day flower and plant sale.
     The fundraiser was started by St. Anskar’s about five years ago to benefit non-profit groups serving the Rockford area. The other congregations agreed to expand the sale to a Partners for Faith endeavor last year, almost doubling sales and proceeds for non-profit oranizations.
     Thanks to everyone who made the plant sale possible—for all the orders, for those who kept track and collated all the orders, for those who help on Friday to receive and sort plants, and for those who came on Saturday for plant pickup
