Reformed Episcopal Church Mission Statement
Adopted by the Bishops of this Church
December 3, 1992
Revised by the Council of Bishops, October 2, 2003



Built upon the foundation of the authoritative Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, the Reformed Episcopal church sets her highest priority on biblical worship and declares her commitment to the work of evangelism, the bold and unadulterated proclamation of salvation by the grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (acts 8:4).  In keeping the faith once delivered to the saints, the Reformed Episcopal Church, however, does not believe evangelism to be the end, but rather the beginning of her divinely given vocation.

In addition to being evangelical, she is deeply committed to discipleship, the work of training evangelized men and women in Christian living (St. Matthew 28:20).  When  the Gospel is truly proclaimed and the mercies of God are made known, redeemed men and women must be led to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice, which is their spiritual service (Romans 12:1).  Thus, the Reformed Episcopal Church understands the Christian life to be necessarily corporate.  The Gospel call of salvations is not only to a savior, but also to a visible communion ( I Cor.12:27) being indwelt by Christ’s spirit,  transcends both temporal and geographic bounds.

Therefore, the Reformed Episcopal Church is creedal, following the historic catholic faith as it was confessed by the early undivided Church in the Apostles’(A.D.150), Nicene(A.D.325) and Athanasian Creeds (circa.A.D.401); sacramental, practicing the divinely ordained sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as outward and visible signs of His inward and spiritual grace; liturgical, using the historic Book of Common Prayer; and Episcopal, finding unity with the Church of the earliest Christian eras through submission to the government of godly bishops.

In this fashion, by embracing the broad base of doctrine and practice inherent in apostolic Christianity received by the Church of the English Reformation and expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Reformed Episcopal Church has a foundation for effective ministry in the name of Christ to a world which is lost and dying without Him.

Approved, General Committee, October 5, 2003

Liturgy is Work

One misconception about liturgy is that it is mindless reciting of stuff --- putting the mind on hold and letting the mouth run. The word "liturgy" comes from a Greek word meaning both "form" and "work of the people". We approach our liturgical service as something that involves everyone, not just a few knowledgeable souls. We welcome your participation.

The Act of Worship

Our worship is active and congregational. Our parishes use the Book of Common Prayer, which enables the parish to fully share and participate in each service.

A simple rule in our liturgical service is : You stand to sing. You stand to affirm your faith (the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds), and you stand to be exhorted (when you hear the words "Dearly beloved...")

We sit to hear instruction. So, we sit during the Lessons from the Bible, and also during the Homily or Sermon.

We kneel when praying as a sign of both humility and thanksgiving in speaking to the King, our Father. Some people have physical difficulties kneeling, and they should be comfortable sitting, though we ask that they sit forward allowing for those kneeling behind them.

The procession at the beginning of the service is symbolic of our entrance into God's throne-room. Our model is heaven, and the worship service going on there right now.

You will see some bow as the cross passes by. This and other liturgical gestures are not mandatory, but serve to remind the worshipper of their respect for the symbol of their faith.
