We are a Presence-minded Church, formed in the Anglican Tradition
Church of the Apostles is affiliated with The Anglican Church in North America, within The Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic.
The Mission of our church is to live all of life for Jesus our King. He has called us to Himself, and sent us forth in His Name. He alone is worthy of all our adoration and devotion.
Our great aim is to behold the truth, goodness, and beauty of King Jesus, as we seek to be filled with His life, formed into His image, and fueled for His purpose.
Our Values
The Word of God
God changes us by speaking to us. We believe the Bible to be “God-breathed” - the very words of our Creator. It is for this reason that the Bible holds a central place in our life together, directing our worship and the foundation of our teaching.
The Gifts of God
God gives gifts to His children. We believe the Sacraments (Baptism and Holy Communion) to be instruments that God uses to bring His grace to us, both giving and sustaining our faith. What’s more, He uses water, bread, and wine to give us Himself.
The Spirit of God
God is present and active among His people. We believe that every time the church gathers, the Holy Spirit is at work for the glory of God and the advancement of His purpose, for our own joy, and for the good of those who do not know Him.
Our Beliefs
We belong to Christ’s one, holy, universal, and apostolic Church. We believe and confess Jesus Christ to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no one comes to God the Father except by Him.
Our beliefs are best expressed by the Church's foundational creeds: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
The term “creed” comes from the Latin word “credo”, meaning “I believe.” They are statements of the fundamental beliefs of Christianity. In reciting and affirming these creeds, we join Christians worldwide and throughout the ages in affirming our faith in the one God who created, redeems, and sanctifies us.
