As Episcopalians, we affirm the ancient creeds of the Church—the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed—both of which summarize our beliefs about God and the Church and are central to our worship.
We believe in one true God, revealed as a Trinity of Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth, lived among us as fully human and fully divine. He came out of God’s eternal love, and through his sinless life, death, and resurrection, he conquered the powers of sin and death, redeeming all of creation.
God offers the free gift of grace and salvation through Jesus Christ, and it is by faith in him that we receive forgiveness, resurrection, and the promise of eternal, abundant life.
We believe that God inspired the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The Bible contains everything necessary for salvation, revealing God’s Truth to us. The Scriptures require interpretation, and we are guided by the Holy Spirit, the Tradition of the Church, and human reason as we seek to understand and apply God’s Word in our lives today.
The central message of the Bible is the Good News of God’s love for us, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit’s promise of eternal life in Him.
We believe that the Church is the Body of Christ, called to proclaim the Good News to a hurting and broken world.
We believe that we are united with all believers, living and deceased, through the Communion of Saints, and supported by the love and prayers of those who have gone before us.
Because God has loved us, we are called to love one another. In Christ, our lives are transformed, and the love he gives us empowers us to work toward a world of healing, wholeness, and peace
