Our Faith
Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through traditional worship
Trinity Episcopal Church is a friendly and fast growing parish of the Worldwide Anglican Communion recognized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ through traditional worship and Biblical preaching in a family-focused environment. Trinity Episcopal Church embraces Orthodox Christianity through worship, liturgical music and common prayer.

Grounded in History
Authentic teachings rooted through Apostolic Succession Lineage
Our Bishop, and therefore our clergy, preserves the true doctrine of the Church as presented though our Lord Jesus Christ. The authenticity of our apostolic ministry ensures the clarity, veracity, tradition, and stability of our teachings.
Our succession lineage confirms Trinity Episcopal Church is rooted in a legacy of authority illustrating a mark of unity and a true instrument of grace.
“Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.”
Acts 8:14-17
“[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also”
2 Tim. 2:2
Core Beliefs
Keepers in faith entrusted by our Lord Jesus Christ
God
God is the Creator and Ruler of all things. He exists eternally in three equal persons: the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, known as the Trinity. God has made Himself known generally through creation, and specifically through the Bible and Jesus Christ.
The Bible
The Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and written through chosen authors. It speaks with the full and final authority of God in all times and at all places. It is both infallible and inerrant in the original manuscripts. We understand the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church in its right interpretation.
Sin
Sin is rebellion against God through disobedience. It distorts our relationship with God, with other people, with creation and with ourselves. The effects of sin are evident in all of creation and result in our innate inability to please God.
Salvation
Salvation is reconciliation with God through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In His victory we are set free from the power of evil, sin and death. Through Him we may live in harmony with God, with others, with creation and with ourselves.
Authentic Application
Applying the Word of God to daily living
Our warm and inviting congregation promotes the integration of faith within individual contexts. In the sharing of God’s word, Trinity Episcopal Church presents our parishioners the tools they need to incorporate the gospel into every part of themselves. We believe that faith is not just a segment of an individual, but deeply ingrained in our daily actions and interactions – our teachings support this conviction and help our parishioners stay true to the Word of the Lord while they navigate this modern landscape.
