The Episcopal Church, part of the Anglican Communion, is grounded in the teachings of the Bible, tradition, and reason. Its core beliefs include:
The Trinity: Belief in one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ: Jesus is the Son of God, whose life, death, and resurrection offer salvation to humanity.
Sacraments: The Episcopal Church recognizes two primary sacraments—Baptism and Eucharist (Holy Communion)—as well as five additional sacraments (Confirmation, Reconciliation, Marriage, Ordination, and Unction).
Scripture and Tradition: The Bible is foundational, interpreted through the lens of tradition, reason, and experience.
Inclusive Worship: The Church values liturgical worship and is known for its rich use of scripture, music, and prayer.
Social Justice: A commitment to social justice, care for the marginalized, and peace-making are central elements of Episcopal beliefs and practices.
The Episcopal Church is known for its broad inclusivity, embracing a diversity of theological perspectives while focusing on unity in Christ.
