What We Believe

As Episcopalians,

  • We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the revealed Word of God containing all things necessary to Christian life and practice.
  • We worship one God in three Persons, praying to the Father through the Son by the Holy Spirit.
  • We take part in the Sacraments ordained by Christ himself, through the ministry of the apostolic orders.
  • We are an integral part of the one Body of Christ composed of Churches which, united under the headship of Jesus, are in the fellowship of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church throughout the ages.
  • We believe in the apostolic succession of bishops.
  • We hold the one Faith revealed in Holy Scripture, and defined in the creeds as established by the seven Great Ecumenical Councils.
  • We belong to the worldwide Anglican Communion under the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
  • We pray for the healing of the Church’s divisions and for the reunification of the Body of Christ.SaveSave
