We are Christian

Unfortunately, not all organizations which claim to be Christian live up to the full meaning of the word. True Christianity is sometimes identified as historical Christianity or orthodox Christianity.

As historical, orthodox Christians, we believe in and have a relationship with God. Specifically, the Trinity: the Father who gave us His Son Jesus, Jesus who was sacrificed for us, and the Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus and who remains with us now. We are rooted in a history that goes all the way back to Christ Himself. We are a part of the worldwide body of believers which Scripture called the Bride of Christ, and which we call the Church. We accept the documents which that church has deemed canon, namely the Bible. Lastly, it joins with the historical church in affirming the Creeds, especially the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed.

We are Anglican

Anglicanism is one particular expression of the Christian faith. Perhaps our most important and distinguishing practice is our use of the Book of Common Prayer. We are a part of the Apostolic Succession, which traces back through the laying on of hands to the Apostles and ultimately, to Christ. We worship in all the richness of the Liturgy, and we acknowledge and take advantage of the Sacraments.

We are in the Anglican Province of Christ the King

The Anglican Province of Christ the King (APCK) is one of the many churches in the Continuing Anglican movement (also called Traditional Episcopal). Our province (as well as the Anglican Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion) traces it's beginnings to the Congress of St. Louis. The Congress of St. Louis was a gathering of Episcopalians and Anglicans united in opposition to the a major revision to the Prayer Book, and the accompanying theological changes in the mainline Episcopal church. The Congress produced the Affirmation of St. Louis which repudiated the mainline Episcopal church for it's secularization and departure from the adherence to Holy Scripture and Tradition, among other things.
