A Summary Of Our Faith

* Episcopalians are followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and we believe in God in a Trinity of Persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  

*Faithful to the promises we make at our Baptism, we respect the dignity of every human person and love our neighbors as ourselves.  ​

*We are a part of the worldwide Anglican Communion and trace our roots to the apostles and the beginnings of Christianity in the first century. ​

*We uphold the Bible as containing all things necessary for salvation and use the Book of Common Prayer as the basis of our worship.   ​

*Our faith is affirmed in the Apostles and Nicene Creeds as interpreted by our Catechism. ​

*Our worship follows the ancient Christian structure of the Word of God and Holy Communion. ​

*We welcome all baptized persons to share Holy Communion, not only members of the Episcopal Church. ​

*We welcome all persons, married or single, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity to discern a call to become deacons, priests and bishops. ​

* We affirm that birth control and abortion are matters of personal and informed conscience.  

*We celebrate our unity in Christ while honoring our differences always putting the work of love before uniformity of opinion.​
