The Anglican Province of Christ the Good Shepherd is a 'Convergence' church, having unified the three traditional streams of Christianity, the Liturgical /Sacramental, the Evangelical, and the Charismatic ("Spirit-Filled") stream. We use form (Liturgy) and substance (Sacrament of Holy Communion) in our Worship, placing emphasis upon solid Biblical preaching (Evangelical), and the exercise of the Charismata or gifts imparted through the ministry of the Holy Spirit (Charismatic).

We are Anglican although we are not in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury. The fundamental principles defining inclusion in the Communion are detailed in the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral of 1886, the thirty-nine articles of the faith, and the Book of Common Prayer.

We embrace:

The belief in one God, the Sovereign Creator, Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The priority and authority of the Holy Bible as the source of the knowledge of God.

The Creeds: Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed, and the Creed of St. Athanasius.

That all people are guilty of sin and worthy of condemnation by God, but are offered salvation through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.

The truth that salvation is the gift of God and is obtained by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

The use of liturgy, faithful to the Scripture, embodying the experience of the historical Church in worship. The accepted form is the Book of Common Prayer.

The historic episcopate, the order of bishops, as a sign of unity of the one church of God.

The three-fold ministry of bishop, presbyter (priest or pastor), and deacon as the ministry defined by Scripture.

The two Sacraments of our Lord, instituted by teaching and example of Jesus Christ: Holy Baptism and Holy Communion in which Christ is truly present.

The Sacraments of the Church: Holy Unction (healing prayer with anointing); Holy Matrimony, Confirmation (impartation of the Holy Spirit upon reception into the Church); Holy Orders and Reconciliation of a Penitent.

Regular celebration of Holy Communion as instituted by Christ.

The need for regular preaching and teaching from the Scriptures, as drawn from the Common Lectionary of the Bible insuring that the entire Bible will be read publicly at least every three years.

The priesthood of the believer as a worshiping and praying society.

Human beings are not God, but were created in His likeness and image. The creation serves and is sustained by the Creator. We were created for communion with God and one another in purity according to the Holy Scriptures, but having fallen into sin we removed ourselves from the appointed perfection requiring an act of infinite Grace and the death and resurrection of the Son of God to restore us to favor.

We affirm and accept basic Biblical principles of social action and witness involving: a pro-life posture; opposition to all forms of bigotry; refusal to ordain practicing homosexuals and heterosexuals engaging in sexual behavior outside of marriage; marriage defined as the union of one man and one woman. We acknowledge that all people have sinned and are deserving of the Godly consequences of that sin. Thankfully, God in His infinite Grace and Love extends forgiveness and acceptance to all who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, and make a confession of that sin with a penitent heart. All baptized Christians are invited to the Lord's table.
