The Anglican Mission of Lake Erie was founded in 2022 under the episcopal oversight of The Right Reverend Brent E. Whetstone. Though our gathering is small, our inheritance is vast — we stand within the unbroken stream of apostolic faith handed down through Scripture, the ancient Creeds, and the Sacraments of the Church.

We are a parish of the Ordinariate of Saint George, a fellowship of clergy and faithful committed to safeguarding and renewing the historic Anglican patrimony — its prayer, its preaching, and its pastoral care — for the present age.

Our Ecclesial Home

The Ordinariate of Saint George

An ordinariate is a canonical jurisdiction — much like a diocese, but personal rather than territorial — established to gather faithful around a shared spiritual and liturgical patrimony. Our communion's Ordinariate of Saint George exists to preserve the prayer, the preaching, and the pastoral life that have come down to us through the historic Anglican settlement.

Under the patronage of Saint George — soldier, martyr, and witness to Christ — the Ordinariate gathers parishes and missions committed to one canon of Scripture, the three ancient Creeds, the four undivided Councils, and the sacramental life of the one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

What We Carry Forward

Common Prayer

A liturgy shaped by Cranmer's heritage — the cadence of the Book of Common Prayer, daily offices, and reverent celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

Apostolic Order

Bishops, priests, and deacons in the historic threefold ministry, ordained in succession from the apostles and accountable to the wider Church.

Pastoral Care

A ministry of preaching, teaching, and personal shepherding — meeting families, neighbors, and seekers where they are.
