CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
Who we are...
Church of the Holy Apostles is a Biblically faithful community that connects people to Christ through love in action.
This statement is packed with meaning and explains what we believe and why we exist. It guides our decisions about where we invest our time, talents, and treasure. Embedded within this statement are several key elements about our identity that are worth exploring:
BIBLICALLY FAITHFUL
We believe that the “Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation, (Article VI BCP p. 868)” and will be our source for preaching the Gospel and teaching the church.
COMMUNITY
We are a multicultural community that believes that God has created us to be closely involved with one another, regardless of our history, where we are from, or what language we speak. – 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Revelation 7:9
CONNECTING PEOPLE TO CHRIST
We believe that God desires to enter into a personal relationship with those created in His image. As a church, God has given us the resources we need to help fan the flame of relationship between people and Jesus Christ. – Ephesians 3:14-19; Ephesians 1:3-14
LOVE IN ACTION
We believe that God is the very definition of love and He eternally expresses who He is through action. As those created in His image, we desire to be people who demonstrate the love of God in our actions to those inside as well as outside the church. Our greatest desire is that our acts of love will draw people into a personal relationship with their Creator. – 1 John 4:7-21
Our Focus
WORSHIP
We are called to “worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,” Psalm 96:9
Our worship combines a blend of the rich traditional liturgy of the Episcopal faith along with contemporary music and praise.
DISCIPLESHIP
The process of teaching people as they become followers of Jesus Christ.
We endeavor to provide a wide variety of opportunities that teach biblical truth to all ages and stages of discipleship and formation.
MISSION AND OUTREACH
Sharing the message of hope in Jesus Christ to a broken and dying world.
As a Gospel imperative, this hope is best evidenced through our love in action. We live out God’s love by strengthening the Church locally and globally through prayer, generosity, hands-on service, and faithful partnership.
FAMILY
We believe that families and youth are central pillars to our church and community.
We strive to strengthen all families by providing them with a strong Biblical spiritual foundation and formation through our educational and social activities which are centered around basic Christian values.
