"The Anglican Church in Finland was founded by refugees from St. Petersburg, fleeing the Revolution. Over 90 years later, it continues to be a place for people seeking refuge.

We strive to be a place where people can come as they are, where they can lay their burdens at the foot of the cross, and be uplifted by the community of believers that gather each Sunday at Agricola Church, 10:00am.

Throughout the years, the Anglican Church in Finland has expanded to cities all over the country. In addition to St. Nicholas Chaplaincy, the “mother congregation” for all the Anglican communities in Finland, there are three other congregations with their own Electoral Roll and Churchwardens: the White Nile Congregation in Vaasa, the International Congregation of Christ the King, Tampere and SS Timothy and Titus, Tallinn, Estonia. Additionally, regular Eucharists are celebrated in Turku, Salo, Espoo and Kuopio."

"Suomen anglikaaninen kirkko perustivat pietarilaiset pakolaiset, jotka pakenivat vallankumousta. Yli 90 vuotta myöhemmin se on edelleen paikka turvapaikanhakijoille.

Pyrimme olemaan paikka, jossa ihmiset voivat tulla sellaisenaan, missä he voivat asettaa taakkansa ristin jaloille ja tuoda ylös jokaisen sunnuntain Agricolan kirkossa keräävien uskovien yhteisö, kello 10.00.

Anglikaaninen kirkko on laajentunut kaikkialle maahan ympäri vuoden. Pyhän Nikolauskaplainssin, kaikkien anglikaaniyhteisöjen "äitikokoonpanon" lisäksi, on kolme muuta seurakuntaa, joilla on oma vaaleja ja kirkonmiehiä: Valkoinen Niilin seurakunta Vaasassa, Kristuksen kuninkaallisen kansainvälinen seurakunta, Tampere ja SS Timothy ja Titus, Tallinna, Viro. Lisäksi säännöllisiä eukaristioita juhlitaan Turussa, Salossa, Espoossa ja Kuopiossa."
