The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection
Sautee-Nacoochee, Georgia
What We Believe
The center of Episcopal teaching is the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The basic teachings of the church, or catechism, include:
-
Jesus Christ is fully human and fully God. He died and was resurrected from the dead.
-
Jesus provides the way of eternal life for those who believe.
-
God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit, are one God, and are called the Holy Trinity.
-
The Old and New Testaments of the Bible were written by people "under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit."
-
The two great sacraments are Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist.
-
Other sacramental rites are confirmation, ordination, marriage, reconciliation of a penitent, and unction.
-
Belief in heaven, hell, and Jesus' return in glory.
-
Emphasis on living out the Great Commandment to love God and neighbor fully, as found in the Gospel of Matthew 28:18-20
The full catechism can be found in the Book of Common Prayer.
