Know Christ.
The church's job is to produce disciples of Jesus the Christ. This begins with the inspiration and work of the Holy Spirit in someone's life - first perhaps secret, quiet and mysterious, but soon needing the nurture of a faith community. The work is continued through the faith tradition of church, formation in the home, classes, community worship, and in personal or guided study and devotions.
Our Episcopal tradition is built on the Holy Bible and The Book of Common Prayer. Any clergyperson would be happy to introduce you to either one or both, or help you find spiritual counsel and direction as needed. Please contact us HERE.
For those looking to deepen their spiritual life, there are many resources available in classes and workshops. There is no substitute for small group worship and study in the life of faith, and a current class schedule is available HERE.
*The Episcopal Church was the Anglican (English) Church in the United States, until after the Revolutionary War when we changed our name. Anglican is used to denote the spiritual faith tradition within the various streams of the Christian church. Episcopal is used to designate our official and local tradition of which we are a local branch under the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the Diocese of Arizona.
