Episcopal Churches, along with many other denominations, express their faith through two historic creeds, or short statements of faith: The Apostle’s Creed and The Nicene Creed. These creeds sum up the Christian faith of billions of people around the world. One of these two creeds is usually recited during each service in an Episcopal Church.
Our worship is based on the Book of Common Prayer, and we pray using four readings from Holy Scripture in most services. Many of our prayers are based on Scripture passages.
