OUR FAITH
Good Samaritan Episcopal Church is part of The Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
We are a blend of ancient tradition and fresh, contemporary expressions of Christianity. We pray the ancient creeds, and we apply them to today’s issues.
We take the Bible seriously—too seriously to take it literally on every point. Fed by the Spirit, we make Jesus known through the breaking of the Bread, prayer, Bible study, our loving care for one another, and our outreach to and advocacy for our community.
The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.
