About Us
Resurrection PEC is a Church located in Northwest St. John’s County and was founded in October 2008 by The Rev. Frank Castillo and The Rt. Rev. Ian Anderson seeking to make God known and to bring worshipers before His throne within their community and throughout the world.
If you've ever visited an Episcopal church, or if you're Episcopalian yourself, you know the weight that is placed on worship. Not only do we adhere to historic, reformed doctrine and to traditional discipline, we also take worship seriously. In the act of corporate worship, we seek to glorify God and bring honor to His name through the reading of His Word, prayer, and the singing of hymns.
Our worship is marked by the Book of Common Prayer (1928 revision), which calls for beauty and simplicity in worship. Scripture stands at the center of traditional Episcopal worship; the Prayer Book is filled with Biblical passages and prayers crafted on a knowledge of Scripture. In an age when "any prayer book will do," and when worship is defined more by human pleasure than by the pursuit of God's glory, we humbly seek to worship God in Spirit and in truth by keeping to the 1928 BCP and following its rubrics.
The Eucharist is the central act of worship in the Protestant Episcopal Church. It is celebrated every Sunday and on other major feasts. It uses concrete, visible signs and leads to inner, spiritual grace, and it is a celebration of Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
The Worship Service consists of two parts. The first section includes an introduction, collect of the day, lessons from the Bible (Old Testament lesson, Epistle, and Gospel reading), the sermon, Nicene creed, prayers of the people, and confession. The second part of the service is the celebration of Holy Communion. This includes the offertory, the Great Thanksgiving (consecration of the bread and wine), the Lord's Prayer, and the Breaking of the Bread and distribution of the Sacrament.
