Our Beliefs
St. John's is a parish within The Episcopal Church in Connecticut (ECCT) and a member of The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.
As Episcopalians we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
As constituent members of the Anglican Communion in the United States, we are descendants of and partners with the Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church, and are part of the third largest group of Christians in the world.
We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.
We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of sexual identity or orientation.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
To learn more about the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, the Catechism, the Creeds, Baptism, Holy Communion, Sacraments, and the Baptismal Covenant, join us for worship to start a conversation.
