The Episcopal Church’s core values, emphasizing inclusivity, social justice, and thoughtful engagement with faith, work to transform humanity in profound ways. By welcoming all, regardless of background, we create communities that celebrate diversity and break down barriers. Our commitment to service inspires acts of compassion and fosters a more just and equitable world. The emphasis on open dialogue encourages critical thinking and understanding, promoting peace and reconciliation. Through these values, the Episcopal Church strives to build a world that reflects God’s boundless love and where all can flourish.
We believe that God Transforms.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES.
God’s love is unconditional and boundless. It extends to all, regardless of background or belief. This love is revealed through Jesus Christ, offering forgiveness, hope, and a path to salvation. We experience God’s love through scripture, prayer, and acts of service in the world.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD TRIUMPHS.
God’s triumph over evil not as a singular event, but as an ongoing process. Through Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, hope and love conquer darkness and despair. We actively participate in this triumph through acts of service and justice, striving to overcome evil in the world. Though darkness may persist, God’s love ultimately guides us towards a future of peace and reconciliation.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD REDEEMS.
His ultimate aim is to redeem humanity, restoring us to right relationship with God and one another. This redemption, begun through Jesus’ sacrifice, continues through the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. We participate by accepting God’s grace, striving for good works, and building a more just world. While the full picture of redemption awaits us in the afterlife, glimpses of God’s restorative power are already present in our lives.
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD INHABITS.
God isn’t confined to the past but is actively present in our world. We experience this presence through prayer, scripture, and the beauty of creation. The Holy Spirit guides us towards love, justice, and understanding. While God’s nature may be beyond full comprehension, faith and reason work together to connect us with the divine presence shaping our reality.
