Our Faith
What We Believe
Christ the King holds to the historic Anglican faith as expressed in Scripture, the Creeds, and the formularies of the Church of England.
"Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment."
Core Beliefs
We affirm the following as essential to the Anglican faith:
Scripture
The canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God, containing all things necessary for salvation.
Sacraments
Baptism and the Holy Communion (Eucharist) as the two sacraments ordained by Christ himself.
Historic Episcopate
The Historic Episcopate as integral to the apostolic faith and practice.
The Creeds
The three Catholic Creeds: the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
Church Councils
The teaching of the first four Councils of the undivided Church, and the Christological clarifications of councils five through seven.

The 1662 Book of Common Prayer as the doctrinal standard for Anglican worship.
Thirty-Nine Articles
