The foundation of the Anglican Missionary Church rests upon the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We hold that eternal hope resides solely in Him. As a Church firmly anchored in historic tradition yet present in the modern age, we embrace the Anglican Way—a sacred pilgrimage defined by these eight core tenets: 

​

1. We confess the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God, containing all things necessary for salvation, and to be the final authority and unchangeable standard for Christian faith and life.

​

2. We confess Baptism and the Supper of the Lord to be Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself in the Gospel, and thus to be ministered with unfailing use of His words of institution and of the elements ordained by Him.

​

3. We confess the godly historic Episcopate as an inherent part of the apostolic faith and practice, and therefore as integral to the fullness and unity of the Body of Christ.

​

4. We maintain that the Holy Orders of bishops, priests, and deacons represent the continuation of Christ’s apostolic ministry. We assert the necessity of a bishop in apostolic succession—or a priest rightly ordained by one—to preside at the Eucharist; these Orders are reserved for men according to Christ’s institution and the witness of the undivided Church.

​

5. We confess as proved by most certain warrants of Holy Scripture the historic faith of the undivided church as declared in the three Catholic Creeds: the Apostles’, the Nicene, and the Athanasian.

​

6. Concerning the seven Councils of the undivided Church, we affirm the teaching of the first four Councils and the Christological clarifications of the fifth, sixth and seventh Councils, in so far as they are agreeable to the Holy Scriptures.

​

7. We receive The Book of Common Prayer as set forth by the Church of England in 1662, together with the Ordinal attached to the same, as a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline, and, with the Books which preceded it, as the standard for the Anglican tradition of worship.

​

8. We receive the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of 1571, taken in their literal and grammatical sense, as expressing the Anglican response to certain doctrinal issues controverted at that time, and as expressing the fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief.

 

By the grace of God, we are committed to safeguarding this venerable spiritual inheritance. Following the wisdom of Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher, we do not seek to innovate, but rather to protect the faith once delivered to the saints. We teach only those truths revealed in Scripture, inviting all—from the faithful pilgrim to the curious seeker—to join us in this timeless and beautiful journey of devotion.
