Grace and peace to our dear brothers and sisters of the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga!  

About 18 months ago we at Christ the King in Hiawassee GA embarked on this same pathway.   We put our hand to the plow and did not look back, and God has blessed us abundantly.  Yes, there have been bumps in the road.  The enemy has been very unhappy with us reaching out to seek and save the lost, but the King of kings has been leading us all the way.  So, welcome to the front lines.  The harvest is plentiful and the King is coming back soon.  So, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God and the Holy Spirit will be with you.
  
In Christ, Rev. Don O'Malley, Pastor, Christ the King, Hiawassee, GA.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
I give thanks to God for His love, grace and goodness.  He is such a faithful God.  Words alone cannot express our joy as well.  We really enjoyed our time and fellowship with you.  We experienced awesome love from your congregation.
 
We are praying for your church. Being part of AMiA gives you the opportunity to experience God in unique ways. May God continue to inspire, motivate and empower you folks to reach the entire Chattanooga with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.

May God continue to bless you, your family and Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga.
 
In His Service,
Rev. Chima Ekeke

Greetings to our Brothers and Sisters at the AFC in Chattanooga!
 
On behalf of Trinity Anglican Church in Douglasville, a suburb of Atlanta, I welcome you to the Anglican Mission In America.  
 
 We’re excited and pleased that your parish has decided to join us in Mission to spread the Gospel and bring the unchurched to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  Congratulations are also in order upon the news that you have called the Rev. Steve Kelley to be your first Priest.  We face many of the same challenges as new church plants and emerging congregations in response to an urgent need to develop a Biblically faithful and Christ-centered Anglican expression in our country, and our hope is that we will work together towards common goals as an extended family.
 
May God bless you, and keep you always,

Dear Saints in Chattanooga,
  
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
  
I have been in prayer for you for sometime as Steve Kelley is a very good friend of mine.  Ever since I heard that he was initially coming to meet you and speak with you I have been praying for the work of the Holy Spirit to give guidance and courage.  I am beyond excited that Steve is coming to be with you.  You are receiving an extraordinary man of God to lead you and you are very blessed for sure.  Love him, follow him, and support him as he watches over you as one who must give account (Heb. 13:17).
  
I welcome you warmly and wholeheartedly into the family of the Anglican Mission In America.  May God bless your work for his Kingdom in Tennessee.  I give you this charge:  Preach the Word in season and out of season- the warm fluffy parts and the difficult divisive parts. Guard the good deposit that has been entrusted to you.  Be strong and of good courage as you hold out the word of life.  And finally, love one another- this is how others will know that you are disciples of Christ (John 13:24,25).  Be an open community that loves each other more than can be imagined and is focused on bringing new people into your community of faith through knowledge of Jesus Christ.
  
Our unity is not in the name of the organization AMiA, it is the organization of the Church of Jesus Christ.  Our bond is one that is deeper that Anglicanism, Provinces, politics, or geography.  We are brothers and sisters in Christ united in faith, in belief, and in mission as laid out for us in the Gospel of our Lord.  May you see many lives change in your midst through the power of the Holy Spirit.  May Chattanooga experience a revival of faith like it has never before seen.  Claim Chattanooga for Christ.  God bless you in your endeavor.
  
If there is ever any way that The Church of the Apostles or I can help you please do not hesitate to call.
  
In Christ,
The Rev. Dan Alger

Greetings in the name of the blessed Lord Jesus!!
 
As a native Chattanoogan, it is a great joy to me to hear of your partnership in the ministry of the Gospel.  I believe that the fields are indeed ripe for the harvest in the Scenic City.  
 
Having been part of the Anglican Mission in America since its inception, it is always wonderful to greet new congregations and a particular delight to greet one in my hometown.  The possibilities for the work are boundless if we lean not on our own understandingor our strengths but on the wisdom and the power of God.  We have seen here in Asheville that a little water poured on a dry ground which has not heard the gospel in a long season has borne great fruit and that is my hope and prayer for your work in Chattanooga.
 
I look forward to working together with you and to worshipping with you in the near future.  I thank God that He has brought you into our fellowship of churches and am anxious to share in your success.
 
My prayer for you is that of St. Paul for the church in Ephesus:

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he maystrengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with allthe saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
 
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for everand ever! Amen.
 
Under the mercy,
John Greene - St. Paul's Asheville

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  
Welcome, one and all, to the fellowship of the Anglican Mission in America and the Anglican Province of Rwanda.  This past Sunday, June 26th, I had the distinct pleasure of announcing your arrival upon these proverbial shores to our congregation.  You were met with thunderous applause, I assure you.  
  
Please know that you are in our prayers, and we look forward to expanding our fellowship with you.  In fact, we would like to send a delegation to join you in Sunday worship, at your convenience and at a date of your choosing.  Please let us know when we might pay a call.  
  
Once again, you are blessed and a blessing to us.  We look forward to generations of fellowship to come
  
Sincerely,
 
Thomas+

To our Brothers and Sisters in Chattanooga:
 
Greetings in the constantly renewing name of Jesus Christ from your family in
Hudson, Ohio.
 
It was our joy to hear the news of your new relationship with the Anglican Mission in America and of the growth and prosperity of your new congregation. We pray that the Lord will continue to feed and care for you all in the coming months and years.
 
These early times in a church transplanting can be difficult; taking us into relational and organizational places where we have not walked before. As a new church plant we have walked where you are now traveling.  As a church planting new churches we are walking many of these new and stimulating paths again with others. It would make our joy complete to be permitted to be of support to you in any area where you feel our experience would be a help.
 
As an emerging church in the US, the Anglican Mission is filled with change and excitement; truly a church for these confusing and dry days. Just the same, it requires a good bit of grace to live within the parameters of a changing and expanding environment like the Mission. Be patient with your brothers and sisters in Christ at the Mission, they are paddling just about as quick as they can.
 
Our prayer for you is that you will release yourselves fully into the good work which is the Anglican Mission in America, trusting its Godly bishops and leaders and moving together with us toward building a church which exists for the lost and their salvation.
 
In all things we ask you to remember just how pleased the Lord is with you for the stand you have taken in Tennessee. Know that He is willing to offer you anything which you may require to do His work. Nothing should be out of your reach in these great and Spirit-filled days of new ministry. We pray that the Lord of Hosts will give you vision and provision for the effective carrying forward of His good Gospel into a hurting and broken world.
 
We are praying for you and will do even more if we may,
 
Doc Loomis
Rector

Greetings in the grace and favor of our Savior, Christ Jesus.  It is with great pleasure and much eucharistia (thanksgiving) that the saints of Christ Anglican Church, Manasota (that's Sarasota and Manatee counties in Florida) welcome the saints of Chattanooga's Anglican Fellowship into the AMiA fold.  It is a most excellent move that you have decided to make and a brand-new realm of Christian existence.  All of us in the Anglican Mission have entered by the Gate himself, Christ Jesus.  The difference that makes for everyone is palpable and powerful.  It is a decision that none of our 70+ faithful have regretted.  God always rewards faithfulness.  He will richly bless you for your defense of the Gospel.  If there is any way that we can help, please let us know.
  
I have many fond memories of Chattanooga, having lived and gone to seminary only a short hour away.  I love your city and I love the fact that you all will represent an island of hope for Anglicans therein.  
  
Now to Him who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb, be glory and honor, now and forever.  Amen.

Congratulations!  God is doing a mighty work!  I've followed the news of the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga over the past many months and have kept you in my prayers.  I am thrilled that the Holy Spirit has led you into the Anglican Mission.  I am thrilled that you all kept "watching and praying" until you heard from the Lord.  We are indeed partners in His Vineyard.  May the Lord bring to completion that which He has started in you!  May you continue to hold fast to your "first love," Jesus Christ.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga:
 
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus.  We of the Epiphany Anglican Fellowship on the Northern Front Range of Colorado welcome you to the AMiA!  We praise God for you boldness and perseverance in the Faith and your example to all believers and unbelievers alike of the joy of following Jesus.
 
Epiphany started two and a half years ago as a "parachute drop" church start with six adults and two children.  We have grown to over 180 members who worship in four locations on Sunday and who gather in ten small group fellowships during the week.  God is pouring out His Spirit upon us as we continue to trust Him in all we do.  We have three Priests on staff and support ten missionary families or individuals in prayer and with financial offerings.  All to the glory of God who makes it all possible.
 
He will empower you to do greater things than you can even imagine and to be a people through whom He will be glorified and lifted up.
 
Blessings in Jesus, Gerry

To the Pastor and People of the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga,
  
Greetings in the Lord Jesus from Emmaus Road Church.
 
I read with interest of your formation the other day. I was born and raised in Knoxville, and vacation in Sweetwater each summer. Just a few weeks ago we were there and I remarked to my wife what a great place this would be for an AMIA church.
 
We began our church last Sept. and our first service was nearly washed out by a passing hurricane, but God does great things amid storms of all kinds. We began with about 70 members and have just about doubled in size. We do an ancient-future type of service in the church in a box style, so we are still learning many things about how to grow and enhance worship without a church building. The lessons we have learned on the journey have been great, mainly that church is the body, not the building. You will be blessed beyond belief for stepping out in faith, so WAY TO GO! Chattanooga will be a great mission field, and I look forward to visiting your church on my next vacation.
 
We will add you to the Prayers of the People and if there is anything we can pass along that may be helpful from our church start-up, just let me know.
  
We're at http://www.emmausroadchurch.org/  and I can be reached at 904-294-0222.
If you start to branch out up in Knoxville, I still know a few folks there, so if anything gets going  perhaps I can help connect them with some good people (though I was not an Anglican when I lived in TN).

Dear Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga:
 
It is a great privilege to welcome “y’all” to the AMiA family and to celebrate what God is doing in Chattanooga.   Rather than be upset that you called one of our top leaders and preachers (The Reverend Steve Kelley), we are rejoicing that God has allowed you to serve with Steve and Lorita and to join the AMiA.  What a blessing it is to be under the authority of godly bishops and archbishops and to be led by leaders who believe the Bible and are humble servants of Christ.
 
Church of The Holy Spirit was the first official AMiA church, having been forced out of our diocese by our bishop without cause or trial in February 2005.  Rather than be upset by that situation, we saw God’s hand in it.  He has blessed us abundantly in the five years since we joined AMiA.  We know he will do the same for you, the newest member of the family.

We send you our love and encouragement and pray the Lord will empower you to take Chattanooga for Christ.
 
In Him,
 
The Rev. Dr. Quigg Lawrence+

Dear Friends and Co-workers in Christ ... Greetings!
  
It is with great joy that we received your letter and news on our Anglican Mission web-site of your formation as a new fellowship among the growing number of Anglican Mission churches in America.  We send greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  
It is with great anticipation that we watch and pray for your mission to Chattanooga and the surrounding area.  We know that God is raising up a Church that will unashamedly proclaim His Name to all people, welcoming them into His Courts of praise and discipling them into the service of His Name.  
  
We simply write to welcome you to the ranks of the Anglican Mission in America and to encourage you in your vitality and fervor for our Lord.  May His blessing rest upon you and all your work in His Name in your city and its surrounding areas.  We count you as partners in Mission as God is forming a People to bring His Presence into the cities of America -- to bring transformation and lasting renewal.
  
We at THE REZ (Resurrection Anglican Fellowship) will be praying for your work and that God will enlarge, bless and confirm your work with an extraordinary outpouring of His Presence in your midst, and through you, into the circles of influence that you touch.  We know that He is able to do more than we can ask or even imagine, to bring Glory to Christ Jesus in His Church from generation to generation!  
  
His blessings and Hand be upon you, today and always,

Greetings in the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ.
  
We welcome you as new workers in the harvest!  It does our hearts good to stand side-by-side with you for the Kingdom.
  
If we could stand among you this morning, we would lay our hands upon you and pray the following:
  
May God richly bless the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga.
 
May He grant you the strength and courage to persevere.
 
May His Holy Spirit free you from the bonds of the past to a blessed future.
 
We pray that Jesus would meet you in every place you expect to see Him, and surprise you in the places where you may have a doubt.
  
May His goodness and grace be pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing into your laps!
  
Please never hesitate to contact us if we can ever be of service!   And if you should ever find yourselves at 8000 feet in the middle of the Rockies, be sure to look us up!

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ,
  
Welcome to the family!  We rejoice with you and offer our heartfelt prayers for you as you undertake this great new journey in the Faith.  Immanuel Church in Destin answered God’s call to step forth trusting that He would be with us every step of the way in 2000.  If your journey is anything like ours, get ready for the most exciting and challenging ride of your life.  The Lord will use every opportunity to cause you to grow in your faith.  The Scripture promises that His “Word would be a lamp unto our feet”.  Well, lamps don’t light up much of the path out in front of you.  You just have to keep walking believing that as you reach the edge of the light, the Holy Spirit will reveal your next several steps.  What you will discover is that as you step out – He will be right there with you every minute of every day.
  
We will be lifting you up in our regular prayers.  May the Father bless you, the Holy Spirit strengthen you, and the Son give you His peace.  The harvest is great and the laborers are few – but, praise the Lord, with your arrival the laborers’ ranks have grown.  See you all at Winter Conference.
  
Yours in Christ,
Mike Hesse+

Dear Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga,
  
Greetings and welcome to the AMiA in the name of our risen Savoir Jesus!  I am excited to hear about your work in Chattanooga!  I am praying that you will know blessings as you are faithful to Jesus and His Word and His mission -- that you will see many lives transformed by the Word of God and the Spirit of God and that Jesus will be lifted up and glorified in your midst.
  
I am thankful that you have chosen Steve as your pastor as you continue on this journey.  I know Steve through the preaching course Bishop Thad Barnum and I taught in January -- Steve is a good and faithful man.  In talking with Steve in June, the Lord's hand was so evident in this move.
  
I praise Jesus for your faithfulness.  If there is anyway we can encourage you in this work, please let us know.
  
In His grip,

Dear Members of the Anglican Fellowship of Chattanooga:
 
As I send greetings to you from the Resurrection Community here in Tampa,  I am reminded of words that I carried when we began three years ago. They are from one of the 20th Century's greatest works (in the English Language), T.S. Elliot's THE FOUR QUARTETS.
 
In the fourth quartet entitled LITTLE GIDDINGS he writes:
 
"But, as the passage now presents no hindrance
 To the spirit unappeased and peregrine
 Between two worlds become much like each other,
 So I find words I never thought to speak
 In streets I never thought I should revisit ....
 What we call the beginning is often the end
 And to make an end is to make a beginning.
 The end is where we start from. And every phrase
 And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
 Taking its place to support the others,
 The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
 An easy commerce of the old and the new,
 The common word exact without vulgarity,
 The formal word precise but not pedantic,
 The complete consort dancing together)
 Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
 Every poem an epitaph. And any action
 Is a step to the block, to the fire ...
 With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling  and so...
 We shall not cease from exploration
 And the end of all our exploring
 Will be to arrive where we started
 And know the place for the first time"
 
These words reflect so much of what it feels like to be in this new season.
 
I know these days test the essence of one's faith but now is also the time for an extraordinary opportunity that is effecting the future of witness to the Kingdom. You have been given an opportunity to set an agenda that calls for the release of gifts for ministry in an exciting new way. I and all of us here pray for that release to take place and the opportunities to start continue praying, conversing and sharing with each other in Chattanooga about the next level God may well be calling you toward.  
 
You have spent these recent months asking how can Jesus be revealed and now is the time, how blessed, how overwhelming, how exciting.
 
Please be assured that we here at Resurrection, Tampa recall well the excitement and the challenges of beginning a new work and send along prayers and offer any other support that would be a blessing to you.
 
Warmly In Our Lord,
 
Kevin+
 
The Reverend Kevin Francis Donlon, Ph.D.

On behalf of St. Andrew's Church, Huntsville welcome to the AMIA!  We too are a recent church plant, and so we are especially thrilled to have another church plant so near by. Church planting is difficult work as you all already know and it is a real blessing to have another church so close by that is walking the same road.  I know your new rector Steve Kelley personally and so I know that God has called a wonderful and Godly man to head your church family.  The road ahead of you will be difficult and very trying at times, but if you keep your focus on Christ and follow the Godly leader that God has blessed you with, I have no doubt that God will bless you all mightily and use you all in powerful ways to reach the people of Chattanooga for Jesus Christ.  If we can be of any help, please do not hesitate to call.  
  
May God bless you all and guard you
