What We Believe

We are an Episcopal parish — part of the Anglican Communion — rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and Reason.

The Episcopal Church traces its heritage to the Church of England and the broader Anglican tradition. Our worship is shaped by the Book of Common Prayer, which has guided Anglican Christians for nearly five centuries.

We affirm the historic creeds of the Church — the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed — and celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist as central to our common life. We believe in a God of love and justice, and we welcome all people to worship with us.

Scripture
The Old and New Testaments as containing all things necessary for salvation.
Tradition
The faith of the Church through the ages, expressed in creeds, councils, and liturgy.
Reason
The God-given capacity to understand and apply faith to life.

Lay Ministries

Our worship is enriched by the gifts of lay ministers who serve in a variety of roles each Sunday and throughout the week.

The Daily Office

The Daily Office — Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer — is the Church's ancient rhythm of daily prayer drawn from the Book of Common Prayer. We encourage all members to pray the Office daily.
