Our Beliefs
At the root of our beliefs at Trinity Episcopal Church are the beliefs of the Episcopal Church, as outlined in the Catechism in the Book of Common Prayer, page 845. According to the Book of Common Prayer
Concerning the Catechism
This catechism is primarily intended for use by parish priests, deacons, and lay catechists, to give an outline for instruction. It is a commentary on the creeds, but is not meant to be a complete statement of belief and practices; rather, it is a point of departure for the teacher, and it is cast in the traditional question and answer form for ease of reference.
The second use of this catechism is to provide a brief summary of the Church's teaching for an inquiring stranger who picks up a Prayer Book.
It may also be used to form a simple service; since the matter is arranged under headings, it is suitable for selective use, and the leader may introduce prayers and hymns as needed.
Using these beliefs as a foundation, we have created the Mission and Vision statements of Trinity Episcopal Church as a way to communicate to you what our shared and common beliefs are.
The Mission of Trinity Episcopal Church
Grounded in Christ's love and surrendered to the Holy Spirit, we provide a safe and positive environment for spiritual growth of all, to welcome and serve others, to reach out to those in need and to share the Gospel.
The Vision of Trinity Episcopal Church
We believe Jesus Christ calls us to be His true disciples. Trinity chooses to use the unique gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit to become a shining example of God's love to each other and our community.
However, we understand that all of us, while sharing these common beliefs, have our own beliefs that expand beyond these statements. It is with this understanding that we accept each others beliefs, not as our own, but as a means to grow within ourselves - spirtually, emotionally and physically.
