Jesus Christ is the head of our church. Jesus Christ, is the Only Son of God. He is wholly God and wholly man. We discern the will of God for us and our church in three ways. First we read and study Holy Scripture, as found in the Old and New Testaments. Second, we follow Holy Tradition: that which has been taught by all Christians, from the Apostles to the present day and in every part of the world. Third, we pray individually, in small groups and as a whole church. |
