Denomination: Anglican Church
What we believe
The Anglican Church has its roots in the Reformation of the 1500s. So historically, The Book of Common Prayer (1662) and the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion (1562) have been the agreed standard of doctrine and worship. Like the people who drafted these documents, we who gather at St. Alban’s, sit under the authority of God’s word. The following provides a summary of what we believe.
The divine inspiration of Holy Scripture as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
The universal sinfulness and guilt of humanity since the fall, rendering men and women subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth by the Virgin Mary.
Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only though the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting him or her repentance towards God, and faith in Jesus Christ.
The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
