“…Therefore, the Reformed Episcopal Church is CREEDAL, following the historic catholic faith as it was confessed by the early undivided Church in the Apostles’ (A.D. 150), Nicene (A.D. 325) and Athanasian Creeds (circa. A.D. 401); SACRAMENTAL, practicing the divinely ordained sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as outward and visible signs of His inward and spiritual grace; LITURGICAL, using the historic Book of Common Prayer; and EPISCOPAL, finding unity with the Church of the earliest Christian eras through submission to the government of godly bishops.” – Reformed Episcopal Church

One of our greatest strengths is that we don’t exist in a bubble, rather we exist as a collection of churches, called a Diocese. As a Reformed Episcopal Parish, our Diocese make up The Reformed Episcopal Church, a founding member of a larger group of Anglicans, called the Anglican Church in North America.

This is important because we are not alone. Every Sunday, over the globe, there are people who gather, who prayer the same prayers in Common to our one God. We are no better than other traditions, we simply hold to the ancient practices of a liturgical calendar (think Lent, Advent, Easter, etc.,) we follow Jesus’ command to partake of his body and blood in communion, and we honor the Episcopate. (Deacons, Priests, and Bishops). There is no one way of Anglican worship, as our worship is always contextualized, which is part of the work we seek to establish.

“Anglican worship is diverse, and it is best understood by visiting and attending a local congregation. What is common to all is an inheritance of worship that recognizes the supremacy of the Bible and often finds expression through the Prayer Book. To understand what and how Anglicans pray is to understand what they believe. The Prayer Book, described as the Scriptures arranged for worship, provides helpful resources for everything from personal daily devotions to large public gatherings of worship. It includes prayers for every season of life.” – ACNA
