WHAT WE BELIEVE
WHAT WE BELIEVE
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit."
1 Corinthians 12:12
WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE
The Bible is a vital part of our weekly worship at Christ The King. On any given Sunday worship service, at least three readings are shared from the Holy Bible: a reading from the Old Testament, a reading from the Psalms which typically involves the entire congregation, and a reading from the New Testament. As Episcopalians, we believe that all scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and that, “We understand the meaning of the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church in the interpretation of the Scriptures”
WE BELIEVE IN THE TRIUNE GOD
At the center of all we do is the firm belief that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one. We believe the Father created all things at the beginning of time (Genesis 1). We believe He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins and that through His death and resurrection, we gain redemption and access to the God's kingdom here on earth and in eternity (Galatians 1:4). We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit as promised in the Holy Scriptures (John 14:16), and by the help of the Spirit. we gain an understanding of God's word.
WE BELIEVE IN BAPTISM, AND THE HOLY COMMUNION
In baptismal and through the baptismal covenant, we are adopted into the family of faith - that is the church. Baptism in the Episcopal community may be done by pouring of water or by immersion. At the time of baptism, candidates make a vow to be followers of Jesus Christ and are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Members of the church also promise to help the baptismal candidates uphold their baptismal covenant. People of all ages are welcome to be baptised at Christ the King and become Episcopalians. At Christ the King, celebrate the sacrament of Christ's body and blood through the Holy Communion and all Christians are welcome to partake of the Lord's table.
Christ the King Eposcopal Church is part of the larger Anglican Communion in the United States and is actively involved in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. As a church, we strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in his life, death, and resurrection, which has made salvation possible for all who believe. As a result, our doors are open to people of all nationalities who seek to worship the true and living God. For a list of the doctrinal beliefs of the Episcopal Church, click on this link.
