What We Believe

To "believe" in God is not to merely give mental or intellectual ascent to certain ideas about God.

To believe in God is to endeavor to trust God as God has been revealed in Jesus Christ. None of us is perfect in this. When we say "we believe," we are saying that we trust God and that we desire to trust God more.

What is the story of Jesus? It is difficult to succinctly describe Jesus's story. Jesus himself uses parables to talk about his work. At the heart of Jesus's story is God's generosity.

The Episcopal Church is a community whose beliefs can be primarily found in:

• The Apostles' Creed (said during baptisms and daily worship)
• The Nicene Creed (said during celebrations of the eucharist)

We are also a community who enacts our beliefs ritually through liturgies found in the Book of Common Prayer.

You can discover more of what The Episcopal Church believes by visiting the What We Believe page on The Episcopal Church's website.

We know that belief is a journey, not a destination. Wherever you are on your journey of belief, know that you are welcome among us.
