About us
Beliefs
As an Anglican Church, in the Church of England, our beliefs are articulated in the Canons of the Church of England.
‘The doctrine of the Church of England is grounded in the Holy Scriptures, and in such teachings of the ancient Fathers and the Councils of the Church as are agreeable to the said Scriptures. In particular such doctrine is to be found in the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal.’
Canon A5, The Canons of the Church of England, Seventh Edition.
‘The Church of England is part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, worshipping the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith the Church if called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to the Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons.’
