Christ Church NYC

God’s Word defines what Christ Church NYC believes and does, and so we as a community of believers seek to consistently be humble before God and his Word, as we joyfully dedicate ourselves to studying it and applying it to our lives. Therefore we, along with Anglicans around the world, affirm our belief in historic Christianity as revealed in the Bible and summarized in three creeds: The Apostles‘, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. We further subscribe to the 39 Articles of Religion from the Book of Common Prayer, which express the central beliefs of the Anglican Communion. Finally, as a renewed declaration of historic gospel-centered Anglicanism affirmed by contemporary Anglican leaders around the world, we likewise affirm the Jerusalem Declaration (2008) as a concise summary of the beliefs to which we hold. Our values reflect those of historic, evangelical Anglicanism. Christ Church is a member of the vibrant worldwide Anglican Church movement: Anglicanism, the third largest association of Christian churches in the world, has its heritage in the Church of England. Features of this heritage include being: Biblical—it holds to the unique authority of the Bible as “God’s Word written” Creedal—it upholds the teachings of the classic Christian creeds Confessional—it subscribes to the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church Liturgical—it uses forms of service that are consistent with the teaching and practice of the Book of Common Prayer (1662) Evangelical—it is committed to communicating God’s good news to the world. From the outset, the work of Christ Church has drawn people of all ages, from all walks of life in the city to faith in Christ through the ministry of God’s Word – building up God’s people in their faith and their everyday walk with Christ. Christ Church is the story of a wonderful God who has done some amazing things through a team of imperfect but forgiven people who have been willing to trust him to provide what has been needed along the way – places to meet, funding, and people with the necessary gifts at the right time. The life and ministry of Christ Church New York City is to the glory of God alone.
