Arizona Anglican Mens Retreat - Mens from the Arizona Deanery gather in Prescott at Emmanuel Pines in September for a weekend of teaching, fellowship and relaxation. Contact Jeff Bisgrove (jeffmbisgrove@me.com) for more information
Good Shepard Care Ministry - In a culture where aging is viewed as an illness,though a biomedical paradigm, where facilities for the most aged are waiting rooms that monitor residence with the intent to medicate into oblivion, we offer an alternative. By planting churches in these facilities we offer a wellness perspective that is not only biological but holistic, including a psychosocial and spiritual dimension as well. Where finishing strong in spirit, in the light , in fellowship with others is expected. The AZ deanery joins with DWA in support of this Ministry.
Anglican Center of Theology and Formation - The ACTF is an endeavor to offer supplemental theological education and ministry training to individuals preparing for Anglican holy orders. Additionally it provides Anglican training to Lay people interested in learning more. See our Web page on ACTF
Church Revitalization - Local churches are the hope of the world, and they’re only as effective as the leaders who lead them. We’re committed to resourcing healthy church leaders who lead healthy churches who in turn fulfill the Great Commission through a healthy province and Communion. We long to see leaders of churches in Arizona equipped to remaining faithful, courageous, and resilient to their biblical and apostolic roots and together fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission in the world. This effort partners with DWA and AAC to help our local churches transform like this.
These are some of the initiatives the AZ Deanery is working on, either themselves or in partnership with the Diocese of Western Anglicans
