We believe that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God and contain all things necessary for salvation. We are not held together by common opinions or views, but by our common worship and the respect we give to each person's conscience. The only requirement for membership in the Episcopal Church is baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We accept as valid the trinitarian baptism of all churches, and we invite all baptized Christians to participate in Holy Communion. Our beliefs are fully summarized in the Nicene Creed found on pages 326 and 358 of the Book of Common Prayer, the Apostle's Creed found on pages 96 and 120, and the Outline of the Faith found on page 845.
Regular worship is an important part of the Episcopal faith.
We believe that our services have many features that bring us closer to God. We believe that liturgy is an art form consisting of a marvelous balance among sound, sight, odors, taste and touch. We see liturgy as the only art form that uses and enhances all five senses, and we find it to be one of the few human activities that involves, stimulates and nurtures the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, volitional, and physical aspects of human beings in a truly communal way. Our services are biblically centered. The Old Testament, the Psalms, the Epistles, and the Gospel.
