At Trinity we believe many of the same things traditional Christians have believed for nearly 2,000 years:
We ascribe to the three traditional Creeds of the church; the Apostles’, the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds, all ancient “symbols” or summaries of Christian faith.
We believe that the Ten Commandments forms a basis for how we try to live with other people and the Lord’s Prayer points us to how to live in the world. The Bible in both parts tells us about God’s relationship with humanity and an awful lot about what it means to be a human.
We practice the Sacraments Jesus taught us, namely Baptism – where we become part of God’s family and part of the church universal. And Holy Communion – where we celebrate Jesus’s continued presence among us.
Most importantly, we believe that none of these are things that live just “in our heads” or even “in our hearts.” We believe we are called to live these things we know to be true about God in the world around us. We believe we are God’s people in this place to make God’s work alive and seen in the world. We believe we are Jesus’s hands and feet in the world. We believe Jesus meant it when he taught us to pray “on earth as it is in heaven.”
