Our Beliefs

Traditional churches often struggle to combine beautiful liturgy with real community. We aim for a shared life because we go to the altar together. Cell Groups live out this value by sharing joys and burdens, practicing spiritual disciplines, and enfolding others into the Family of God.

Every Christian should know their Bible and the prayers of the Church. We take seriously Jesus’ commission to preach and to teach. For this reason, every child and adult in the church is asked to commit to weekly “catechesis” or instruction. Our Men’s, Ladies’, and Young Adult Fellowships also provide support and accountability for those going deeper in their life with God.

Life flows from the altar, for at the altar we sacrifice ourselves, souls and bodies, to be a living sacrifice unto God (Romans 12:1), and God, in turn, gives us the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of Jesus. (BCP, 83) This sacrament revives our dying soul, and so we center our lives around this promised grace in faith that God will bless those who “take and eat what was given for them." (Luke 22:19) For this reason, we take Holy Communion every Sunday morning, and it forms one of the primary rhythms of our life together with God.

Given that we live in such a confused and chaotic time, we take our cues from the church of old times, rather than the sentiments of the modern world. The Faith is something handed down, and God blesses those who humbly receive His gifts from those who came before. This is one of the reasons why our worship is historic or “traditional”.

Jesus says, “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” We believe that we are sent into the world as ambassadors and builders of the Kingdom. Thus, we try to keep our eyes open for opportunities for the Gospel to be made manifest. Every member serves on a ministry team and participates in Gospel ministry throughout the year.
