Our Beliefs

The Gospel (Good News)

The Gospel, or “good news,” is that our Triune God is bringing salvation for us and restoration of all of creation through the life and work of Jesus. Jesus was crucified, resurrected, and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father until one day he comes again to fully establish his Kingdom - defeating evil and restoring all of creation. All who repent and believe in him, through no merit of their own, freely receive this salvation and are filled with the Holy Spirit. Though we still sin and turn away from God, the church exists to embody this Kingdom in a world searching for redemption. All of our values are rooted in this Gospel.

The Creeds

We are a part of the historic, orthodox Christian Church and holds to the beliefs as outlined in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. These creeds serve as the touchstones for all faithful Christians and we affirm this through our weekly confession of the creeds in our Sunday worship gatherings.

Our Tradition

Anglican History

Anglicanism began as a reform movement in the catholic church in England that sought to reclaim the authority of the Bible and the doctrine of justification by faith. Since that time, our church has seen the restoration of historic worship elements and the renewal of evangelical faith. At its best, Anglicanism continues to incorporate each of these movements into the ongoing life and worship of our church.

 The Book of Common Prayer

Since the earliest days of the Anglican church, we have been united by a common order and form of worship, outlined and prescribed by our Book of Common Prayer. Although this book has undergone various changes and adaptations through the centuries, its familiar rhythms and language bind Anglicans together in common praise of our Triune God.

39 Articles of Religion

This historic document, finalized in 1571, is the clearest doctrinal formulation found within Anglicanism. They were originally penned by Thomas Cranmer, the father of Anglicanism, to outline the doctrine and practice of Anglicanism over and against Roman Catholicism and other churches of the Reformation.
