What are the basic beliefs of the Episcopal Church?
Episcopalians promise to follow Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Episcopalians believe in One God, the Father who creates us and all things, the Son who redeems us from sin and death, the Holy Spirit who renews us as the Children of God. Episcopalians believe the Holy Scriptures to be the Word of God and to contain all things necessary for salvation. We believe God inspired human authors and continues to speak to us through the Bible. Episcopalians affirm that salvation is the end of our separation from God and the beginning of a new relationship with God and with one another. The Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds are basic statements of our beliefs in God.
