Resurrection (REZ) Anglican Fellowship is a part of an international movement of missionaries sent to the United States! For centuries the US has been sending missionaries overseas, but now the movement, the tide if you will, has changed. Christianity in Africa and Asia is booming at an astonishing rate, while here in America we consider whether "In God We Trust" is true anymore; whether we are indeed still "One Nation Under God." Religion in America has gotten Americanized, stripped of its power to change life radically for the good, to give meaning and purpose and direction.
Resurrection is a part of a Missionary Movement overseen by Bishops from Africa and Asia, who consider America a mission-field! And so we are! The unchurched population in America, if it were a country of its own, would be the fifth largest in the world! 130+ Million Unreached People - just beyond our doorsteps!! Mission, outreach and evangelism are the central features of the life of this mission to America.
You can join this mission to America.
If reaching out to people with the love of Jesus Christ and the good news of His love to all interests you, then this is the place for you! We are a missionary movement that is rooted in the history of the church but is as relevant as today's paper. We take our cues from Scripture as God's Word to us, and expect God to continue to speak to us through it today! We use sign and symbol, art and color and music to communicate the joy and wonder of a New Life, of New Hope, and of the promise of Eternal Life.
We are learners together about Jesus Christ, about how God takes an active role in our lives - in their smallest details - and about how to live our lives dynamically and successfully in God's eyes. We invite you on this journey - we slip and fall alot - we're not perfect, but we are letting God work His ways in us... together.
Won't you come along? |

An Unconventional Priest !
Father Phil Eberhart is not your typical priest. If you expect a stuffy, gruff, or boring "holier than thou" approach to church, you've come to the wrong place. Here you will find humor and down-to-earth honesty; here you will find a smile and a hug; here you will find the biggest 12-string guitar on the planet and an equally sized voice. A former youth and worship leader for many years, Fr. Phil brings a freshness and vitality to REZ's worship which makes you catch your breath. Lots of laughter and jokes, some tears that flow, a good measure of prayer and always a loving word from Holy Scripture. Fr. Phil isn't a beat-you-over-the-head kind of preacher, but you will get a healthy dose of reflection on the meaning of life. And along with that reflection comes encouragement to make a difference in the places where God has you planted - home, family, friends, work, neighbors.
Fr. Phil is fanatical about the Kingdom of God and the fact that REZ is not the only part in the Body of Christ. He is active in leadership of prayer and pastor/church relationships throughout the whole Church in Denver's metro region. As a result the vision at REZ is turned outward, toward other churches and toward the city. We are looking for ways to serve both the Church in Denver and the City of Denver in real, practical ways which communicate God's Love.

An Outpouring of Power
The first Pentecost was a "water shed" event in the life of The Church. Those 12 disciples, after ten days of prayer and waiting, were overwhelmed by an Out Pouring of "The Promise of the Father" - the promised Holy Spirit.
Spoken of from nearly 700 years in advance, this day was the new beginning that the 12, now become 120 in that Upper Room, had to have to see the reality and the fullness and the power of what God was doing in their midst. The Holy Spirit is the motive power for our life in Christ! He is, in fact, the very presence of Christ himself, living in and subsequently, out - through us. Jesus was clear with his followers on his last night, as they walked past the vineyards towards the Garden of Gethsemane, "I am the vine & you are the branches... apart from me, you can do nothing!" (Jn 15)
It is by the power of the Holy Spirit, living in us (see Jn 14 & 16 and Acts 1-2) that we are able to live the life of Christ today - being His Body now on this planet! The New Testament is very clear on our need and his provision. The Holy Spirit is referred to as "The Promise of the Father" by Jesus in Luke's gospel, as Jesus refers to the Old Testament Prophetic promises of a new heart and new spirit given by God, in Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
The tapestry is rich and colorful around this OUTPOURING of God's Power into our lives. We are given His Spirit in order to live His Life !! In Acts, just as Jesus ascended he said to his followers there, "in not many days hence you will receive all that my Father has promised. So stay here and wait for this promise, and when the Holy Spirit has come and filled you with His Power, you will by My witnesses (literally martyrs) in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria and out to the furthest corners of the earth."
Join us in this adventure, with Jesus, His Father and the Holy Spirit given - poured out - in a real, day to day, walk of faith. There is no adventure on earth that can match it! Come & See!
Fr. Phil+ |
