Our Beliefs
As an Anglican church, we seek to worship in ways that have formed Christians for centuries while faithfully teaching Scripture and inviting people to follow Jesus together.
We are part of the Anglican tradition—a historic stream of Christianity that blends ancient liturgy, sacramental worship, and sustainable spiritual formation through habit and rhythm. We are a part of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO).
We hold to a historic, confessional, and ecumenical expression of the Christian faith. Said more plainly, we hope that Christians from across history and cultures would be able to recognize and join in on our gatherings and practices.
We believe that the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds serve as clear and sufficient expressions of our core doctrines, and that while we do hold various theological distinctives, we would emphasize those places where we hold our faith in common with the Church historic and global, rather than fight over matters of secondary importance.
If you are interested in more of our distinctives as an Anglican church, feel free to reach out to Pastor Max, or refer to some of the resources of our Diocese.
The Rockford Mission is a part of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO), which is built on five key values: Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission, and Sacrament.
