About Our Parish
Our Confession of Faith is the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion,
which means that our interpretation of Holy Scripture is in
line with the Reformation and that we seek to uphold the doctrines
of grace uncompromisingly. Our worship is liturgical and we
currently use as our standard manual of worship the Book of
Common Prayer in the theology of the 1662 prayer book, in
the American vernacular, without theological revision, the
closest to the original compilation of Thomas Cranmer that
we can have in the vernacular. Our membership is wide ranging
in ages, and comprised of folk from other traditions as well
as Episcopalian. In addition to valuing the heritage of our
particular communion we rejoice in our unity with all believers
who acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's Son and our Savior and
Lord, and the Bible as the Word of God. As we grow in grace,
knowledge, and holiness together under the hand of God, so
too we pray for increasing warmth and mutual support in our
fellowship as members of the family of God. We yearn for usefulness
in reaching out to the world with the message of Divine Mercy.
