As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which is historically anchored in the Church of England.
Our theology is based on the “three legged stool” – Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. We welcome questions as we come together to search for meaning and purpose in our lives, grounded in God’s abundant love for all.
We believe that God loves you and all of creation – no exceptions.
We strive to exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations which is reflected in those who serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.
Core aspects of our belief are:
• The Book of Common Prayer
• The Bible
• Baptismal Covenant
• The Catechism (questions & answers about our faith, found in the Book of Common Prayer)
• The Creeds
• The Sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Unction)
