What We Believe
As Episcopalians, our beliefs and the patterns they ask us to inhabit are defined in our Baptismal Covenant. In short, we believe that God creates everything in love and for love, that God redeems everything through the mystery of Jesus' death and resurrection, and that God sustains everything through the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit, who inspires us to be a prayerful people of hope, justice and love.
