What We Believe

What We Believe About The Bible

We believe in the faith that has been received and carried on by the one, holy, and catholic church throughout the centuries. Most importantly, this includes:

1. A commitment to the Bible as the revealed Word and Will of God the Father, the ultimate truth by which we order our lives,
2. A commitment to the truth that in that Bible, Jesus Christ is demonstrated to be the unique Son of God, in whom salvation is found alone, through His sacrificial death and powerful resurrection, and,
3. A commitment to the truth that the Spirit of Holiness is further revealed to be the sole means of both engendering faith and keeping it alive.

Our Historic Faith

The links below contain the "Formularies" or the written standards, which are the foundation of our faith at St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church.

• The 39 Articles
• Solemn Declaration of the Anglican Mission in America
• The Nicene Creed
• The Apostles' Creed
• See also a side by side comparison of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds
• The Book of Common Prayer defines our worship. Though we don't use it in our main worship service at the moment, nevertheless the theology of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer is considered the "gold standard" of Anglican worship and defines the meaning and structure of worship for Anglicans; more about which, see this page.
