Membership Covenant

"As a baptized member of the Church of Jesus Christ, I and the members of my household make the following covenant with the members of All Souls Church"

I will worship regularly and serve the needs of the parish with my time and talents as opportunity arises. *

I will give generously to meet the financial needs of the parish. *

I will invest in the parish through voting when called upon. *

I and the adult members of my household affirm the following as the Fundamental Declarations of the ACNA and of All Souls Church. *

The goal of the Fundamental Declarations is to hold All Souls Church to the orthodox Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Scriptures and received in the Anglican tradition. According to the canons of our diocese and our parish bylaws, all voting members of All Souls Church must affirm that these are the standards by which our church will be governed.

The Fundamental Declarations:

The Holy Scriptures
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.

The Sacraments
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.

The Creeds
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.

Episcopal Government
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.

The Councils of the Undivided Church
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.

The Book of Common Prayer
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.

The 39 Articles
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 fundamental principles of authentic Anglican belief.

Letter of Transfer?

A letter of transfer is not required for membership, but if you want to have a letter of transfer from your previous church filed with us, please let us know so we can provide you with the necessary information.
