Saint Anne’s on the Hill exists to enable men and women to joyfully submit their lives to the lordship of Jesus Christ by training them in the Bible and the liberal arts. We do this for the strengthening of Christ’s church and the exalting of God’s glory.
We are incorporated as a nonprofit.
Why the name St. Anne’s on the Hill?
In a favorite novel of ours (C.S. Lewis’ That Hideous Strength), political, scientific, and demonic powers collude to destroy England. A small group of believers works to honor the Lord through faithfulness in mundane obedience and through taking risks in service of God’s kingdom. In the end, the Lord uses their efforts to save England.
We feel a kinship with them: we desire to be marked by faithfulness, God-honoring risk taking, and mundane obedience as we follow Christ. And perhaps it would please the Lord to use our efforts to work far greater good in the world than we would even dare imagine.
In the novel, this group is known as those at Saint Anne’s on the Hill.
What does the text on the book in the logo say?
Our logo contains a Bible with the Greek text ἐν πάσαις ταῖς γραφαῖς, which reads “in all the Scriptures.”
This phrase is used in Luke 24:27, where the resurrected Christ interprets to two confused disciples “in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
This phrase takes central prominence on the Bible in our logo to reflect our firm belief in the truth that the entire Bible is about Jesus.
What does “Christo et Ecclesiae” on the logo banner mean?
The Latin text on the banner is “Christo et Ecclesiae” which in English reads “for Christ and the church.”
This reminds us of the driving impulse behind our mission. We want Christ to get the glory he deserves and we want his church to be strengthened.
