ABOUT OUR PARISH | ROGER SALTER |  THE VESTRY | OFFICES

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.
