Commitment to Jesus Christ:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that salvation is found in Jesus
Christ alone Who is the only begotten Son of the Living God. Through
Him, all who come to Him by faith and repent of their sins, receive
forgiveness through Christ’s death on the Cross and live in newness
of life through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This new
life of faith is to be marked by a joyful obedience to Jesus Christ,
to God’s Word and to the leading of the Holy Spirit (Matthew
16:15-16; Ephesians 2:4-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 5:22-25).
Authority of
Scripture:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments in their entirety is God’s Word, and is the standard
by which we are to order our lives, express our faith and function as a
community (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Evangelism:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that we are to live our lives, to
make disciples and to grow our churches in a manner that expresses the
loving and longing heart of God for those who are separated from Jesus
Christ and His Church (Matthew 9:12-13; Luke 15; I Timothy 4:1-5).
Relational
Ministry:
All Saints Anglican Church is committed to ministry being accomplished
in relationships which express the love, intimacy, and unity of God as
revealed in the relationship of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
All Saints Anglican Church is committed to holding ourselves accountable
before God and to one another within our Anglican polity. (John 13:34; 1
John 4:11-21).
Worship: All Saints
Anglican Church is committed to worship in Word and Sacrament, through
the power of the Holy Spirit. Our worship—in glorifying God—is to be
authentic and relevant to our cultural setting while remaining within
the breadth of our Anglican Tradition (John 4:23-24; I Corinthians
11:23-26; Acts 17:22-24).
Servant Ministry:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that every Christian is created for
ministry, gifted for ministry and needed for ministry. We are,
therefore, committed to equip, empower and release the faithful to use
their spiritual gifts to glorify God and to build up the Body of Christ
(Romans 12; I Corinthians 12-13).
Sacrificial Giving:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that we are to be generous with our
time, talents and money as we share with those in need, support the work
of God among us, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (I John 3:17-18;
Ezra 2:68-69; Acts 2:44-47).
Biblical Leadership: All Saints Anglican Church is committed to
identifying and training emerging leaders who are committed to Christ
and to reaching their generation with the Gospel. This will require of
those seeking leadership in All Saints Anglican Church an authentic
faith, Godly character, and a servant’s heart (Luke 22:27; Romans 12; I
Corinthians 12-13).
Expectant Prayer:
All Saints Anglican Church believes that nothing of significance happens
in God’s Kingdom in the absence of prayer. Therefore, we seek to make
prayer a priority—inviting God to lead, restore, heal and transform our
lives, our churches, our communities and the world (John 14:15-31; Luke
11:1-13).
