Our Mission & Identity:

We are an Independent Episcopal Catholic parish, committed to the historic liturgy, sacraments, and teachings of the Anglican-Catholic tradition. Our mission is to cultivate reverent worship, thoughtful spiritual formation, and faithful living in Christ.

We are an Episcopal Catholic parish, rooted in the historic faith of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, and ordered within the Anglican tradition.

We affirm that the Church of Jesus Christ is not a modern invention but a living body received through apostolic succession, preserved by the episcopate, and nourished by Word and Sacrament.

We are Episcopal in that we live under the guidance (not control) of bishops standing in the apostolic succession.

We are Catholic in that we confess the Creeds, administer the sacraments as objective means of grace, honor the witness of the Fathers, and believe the Church has never ceased to be part of Christ’s universal Body.

We worship according to the Book of Common Prayer (1662), not as a historical artifact, but as a living rule of prayer that forms belief, shapes discipleship, and safeguards the faith once delivered to the saints. In this Prayer Book, Scripture is read abundantly, repentance is taken seriously, absolution is pronounced with authority, and Holy Communion is received reverently and faithfully.

Our liturgical life is reverent, ordered, and sacramental, shaped by Prayer Book theology and expressed through dignified ceremonial appropriate to catholic worship. Ceremony serves doctrine; devotion flows from truth.

We believe that catholic faith is not dependent upon novelty, personality, or preference, but upon faithful continuity—the Church praying as the Church has prayed, teaching what the Church has taught, and living under Christ’s authority as received through His apostles.

In all things, we seek to be:

• Faithful rather than fashionable

• Sacramental rather than sentimental

• Rooted rather than reactionary

Our goals are to:

• To Worship God

• To Grow in holiness

• To Seek the Old Paths

• To share the Catholic Faith with others

Our aim is not to imitate Rome, resist the Reformation, or chase modern trends, but to live fully and honestly as Episcopal Catholics, formed by the Church’s prayer, nourished by Christ’s sacraments, and sent into the world in humility and truth.
