Over the next decade, Saint Paul’s Anglican Church in Los Altos will serve as a missionary hub and beachhead parish, establishing a network of six REC mission congregations across the Bay Area and Northern California. These parishes will form the foundation for establishing new Classical schools, developing clergy residencies, and building the long-term ecclesial infrastructure necessary for a future California diocese.

In my vision, planting with or as Anglican schools provide the financial and missional ecosystem and “Sunday” church provides the cultural and religious identity.

These six regional mission areas represent the geographic starting points where I intend to begin forming new Anglican parishes over the next decade. Having the goal of planting new congregations will stretch my people and resources in a health way that wil actually benefit our parish and school.

1. Tracy
2. Vacaville
3. Morgan Hill
4. Dublin
5. San Bruno
6. Campbell

Phase One — Anchor Missions (Years 1–3)

These two are far enough, fast-growing, and strategically opposite directions, giving St. Paul’s a north–east anchor spread.

1. Tracy / Mountain House

• Fastest-growing family region in CA
• Ideal for parish + classical school community.
• 40–45 minutes away — no overlap
• Eastern anchor

2. Vacaville

• Northern anchor, outside Bay Area.
• Travis Air Force base nearby (Military Families)
• Ideal for parish + classical school community.

Phase Two — South Bay & Tri-Valley (Years 4–6)

3. Morgan Hill

• South County family hub and anchor
• Strong growth, stable and affluent communities
• High Homeownership

4. Dublin

• East Bay Presence (can draw from Fremont, Hayward, Walnut Creek)
• Young professional households—many in tech
• Similar to Demographics at Canterbury

---

Phase Three — Peninsula & South Bay (Years 7–10)

5. San Bruno

• Northern Peninsula hub with access to Daly City, South San Francisco, Millbrae, and Burlingame
• Good Candidate for Spanish-Speaking Congregation
• Strong Catholic Cultural Background

6. Campbell

• Strong family base, Strong Middle-Class Identity
• For Evangelical/Non-Denom transitioning to Anglican
• Draw from Los Gatos, Saratoga, West San Jose, and Cupertino,

The six-node mission web forms a stable geographic triangle around St. Paul’s.

The Clergy Pipeline Component

If we’re serious about planting six new Anglican parishes in ten years, then we must also be serious about raising up the clergy who will serve them. Churches don’t grow because we draw perfect maps—but through Christ’s faithful shepherds and lay leaders.

A Realistic Clergy Model for Seven Parishes

To maintain weekly Eucharist, pastoral care, and catechesis across the region, our network will ultimately require 9–11 clergy:

• 1 Rector at St. Paul’s, Los Altos
• 1 Assistant Priest based at St. Paul’s.
• 6 Mission Priests/Curates, one for each planted parish
• 2+ Deacons offering liturgical and diaconal support

To ensure that each new parish is healthy, sacramental, and sustainable, we will follow a clergy development model inspired by the residency program at Christ the King (Atlanta). In this approach, clergy are not simply trained for liturgical competence—they are trained for parish multiplication, catechesis, evangelism, and educational leadership.

Slightly Different is that I desire to plant schools as essential ministries of each parish.

Each clergy resident will be required to help establish at least one of the following:

• a Classical Christian K–5 micro-school
• a homeschool co-op using classical curriculum
• a tutoring of afterschool learning center.

Why? Because schools and co-ops create:

• stable families
• catechetical depth
• long-term parish membership
• financial viability
• community credibility
• evangelistic growth

Planter and Church Incubation Pipeline

The goal is to intentionally draw aspiring clergy into the orbit of our parish and school community, forming them through the rhythms of classical Anglican worship, catechesis, and classical school leadership.

From this central hub, we prepare and send them out as mission priests to establish new parishes and school communities in neighboring cities. St. Paul’s and Canterbury serve as the financial, educational, and institutional backbone of this work, providing:

• stable funding and donor support,
• Jobs/income to planters and wives in schools
• a proven parish model,
• and boilerplate school-launch frameworks that reproduce what has flourished in Los Altos.

This pipeline ensures that every mission plant is led by well-formed clergy and begins with a tested, sustainable model of parish + school integration.
