Question 1

Historically Rooted

Accepted Answer

We stand on the shoulders of generations of faithful Christians. Our worship, our life of prayer, and our daily practice of faith are rooted in the Great Tradition, which reaches back centuries and grounds us in this modern moment.

Question 2

Sacramentally Centered

Accepted Answer

An important phrase for us is "Word and Sacrament." In our worship and daily life, we want to orient our lives around the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross—whose merit alone yields our salvation. We seek to feed our souls regularly on the teachings of Scripture and the gift of Communion, wherein we are strengthened for daily life in the world.

Question 3

Doctrinally Consistent

Accepted Answer

As a member of the Anglican Communion, we hold to the historic faith expressed in the Nicene Creed. We regularly confess what we believe.  We also strive to be a community that regularly confesses our sins before Almighty God, so that we might remember our constant need for his grace and the sufficient payment of Jesus Christ. We remain true to the doctrine expressed by the Reformers, who forged the Protestant stream of faith, and upheld confidence in faith alone, in Christ alone, in Scripture alone, by grace alone, and only to the glory of God.
