ABOUT US
What does the Episcopal Church believe?
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, the creator of the universe.
God the Son
We believe in Jesus Christ, God made flesh, born of the Virgin Mary, who died and rose for us.
God the Holy Spirt
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who dwells with us and within us, and who works to help us be more Christ-like.
The Word of God
We believe that Holy Scripture is God's Word, though we allow room for members to come to differing conclusions about how particular passages are to be interpreted.
What is the Episcopal Church?
The Episcopal Church is a part of the Anglican Communion, a worldwide fellowship of churches, with over seventy million members, the third largest group of denomination. The word Episcopal derives from the Greek word episkopos, which means “overseer” or “bishop”. The Episcopal Church is a church with bishops and ours is the Right Reverend Cathleen Chittenden Bascom, Bishop of Kansas.
Are you Protestant or Catholic?
Both. We trace our history back to the Protestant Reformation. Yet, of all the Protestant churches, we retained the most elements of the ceremony and worship of the Roman Catholic Church. Our worship is centered on the Eucharist (Communion of bread and wine) every Sunday. Our clergy (bishops, priests, and deacons) wear vestments/robes and are permitted to marry. We ordain both women and men, and Communion is open to ALL Christians. In determining matters of faith we rely on scripture, tradition and reason. Our church is governed democratically by both clergy and laity.
