TheAM core beliefs

The essentials of the Christian faith

The Anglican Mission celebrates unity in the essential elements of Christian faith, worship, life and ministry. Like trees planted at the waters edge, our Anglican roots are nourished by three streams: the Scripture, the Sacred and the Spirit.

We hold that Scripture guides our lives and is authoritative for us individually and for the Church at large.

We believe the Sacred is embodied in the practices and teachings Christians have held throughout the centuries as expressed in the historic Creeds and 39 Articles of Religion. Our faith has many forms of worship including the sacraments instituted by Jesus.

We trust God's Spirit is at work in the Church and the world, manifesting His power and preparing us for ministry.

These three streams flow from one source-the truth of our Christian witness as taught by Jesus and His apostles, and together, the Scripture, the Sacred and the Spirit form a river that defines the core values and distinctives shape our identity and guide our words, actions and worship.

At theAM, we also believe God has a specific mission for everyone - including you! We believe serving others puts our Faith in Action, creating a tangible expression of God's love and transforming power to change our communities everywhere.
