The Episcopal Church of the Annunciation

Specialties

We are followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We are Trinitarian, meaning we see God as three in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We strive to love God with all our heart, and love our neighbors as ourselves. We also strive to respect the dignity of every human being. The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, and traces its roots back to the beginning of Christianity. Some would say it is the perfect combination of the theology of a Protestant church, and the worship of the Roman Catholic Church.

History

Established in 1961.

In the early 1960’s Lewisville was a small town serving a wide rural area but without an Episcopal Church. Episcopalians were traveling several miles north to Denton or south to Farmer’s Branch. Two of our founding members, William Touchstone and Jack Anderson, were were searching for a «middle of the road «Episcopal Church.

They, their families and friends decided to ask permission from Bishop C. A. Mason, renowned for his missionary zeal, to found a mission church in Lake Dallas, their home town. Their wish was granted on March 24, 1961, which was eve of the Feast of the Annunciation, giving rise to the church’s name.
