We believe...
That Holy Scripture contains all Doctrine required as necessary for eternal salvation. We feel that men inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote Holy Scripture.
We believe that, through study and reasoning, man can unfold the full depths of God's truths.
We believe that our Church Traditions have been developed under the Holy Spirit's guidance.
We believe in the Holy Trinity and see it as God's sharing Himself with us in three ways: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that salvation is the end of our separation from God and the beginning of new life, lived according to God's will.
We believe that the people of God are the Church, the body of which Christ is the Head.
We believe in the three Creeds: Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian.
We believe in the seven sacraments, two of the gospel, Baptism and Communion, that are necessary for salvation, and five lesser ones, Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony and Extreme Unction, not applicable to everyone.
We believe in three-fold ministry [which is male in nature]: deacons, priests and bishops.
We believe in community worship as a means to help us and others grow as we give of ourselves and learn more about the mystery of God and how we fit into God's plans as we follow the commandments.
