We Believe That...
The Holy Scriptures are the Word of God. They hold a prominent and authoritative role in the life of the church (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12).
Jesus Christ is Lord. He is God's plan for humankind to be reconciled with God (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:19).
Salvation is God's free gift by faith. God calls everyone to repent of their sin and, by his grace, to walk in newness of life (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 6:4; I John 1:9).
God knows what is best for his children. While we recognize that we live in a pluralistic society, we contend that the only way to keep one's way pure is to guard it according to God's Word (Psalm 119:9; Proverbs 14:12).
God inhabits the praise of his people. Through the Holy Spirit, God is truly among us as we worship him in spirit and in truth (Matthew 18:20; John 4:24).

An orthodox Anglican Fellowship. With over two thousand years of Christianity behind us, our faith and spirituality have been formed by various epochs and movements, notably: the teachings of the Undivided Church (the 'Patristic Era'), the English Reformation of the Sixteenth Century, the 'Caroline Divinity' of the Seventeenth Century, and the Evangelical Revival of the Eighteenth Century. We have been touched by the Oxford Movement of the Nineteenth Century and the Charismatic Movement of the Twentieth Century. In facing the challenges of today, we endorse the Jerusalem Declaration, the Solemn Declaration of Principles of the Anglican Mission in the Americas, as well as the Constitution of the Anglican Church in North America.
An Ancient-Future Fellowship. We bear witness today to the ancient faith "once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3)" and guarded by ancient ecumenical consensus. When, in our worship, we reenact God's saving deeds, God truly comes among us and brings us into a deeper walk with him and each other, empowering us to be his servants in this world. Our goal is not so much to be "relevant;" our goal is to be authentic. The best way for us to bring Christian authenticity into the contemporary world in a meaningful way is through the Ancient-Future model of ministry. In an age that challenges all things Christian, we see God at work among us through form and spontaneity, through Word and Sacrament, through traditional hymns and today's praise music, through liturgical trappings and simplicity.
A 'Three-Streams' Fellowship. We consider the three streams of orthodox Anglicanism--Evangelical, Anglo-Catholic, and Spirit-Filled--as complementary. Our Fellowship is comprised of Christians who bring various gifts and skills from these three streams and our worship and ministry are enriched by them.
A Note on Our Liturgy
As the Anglican Church in North America is currently preparing a new Book of Common Prayer for its congregations, we will, in the interim, continue to use a modern language version of the historic English Rite.
