we believe
We believe
- That the Holy Scriptures are the final authority on all matters of faith, doctrine and practice. Where Scripture does not speak clearly, we defer to apostolic tradition.
- That the historic creeds of the undivided Church provide a clear and indisputable summary of the Christian faith.
- That we are saved by grace, through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
- That the Sacraments of the Church impart the grace of God.
- That the Holy Spirit is at work today through spiritual gifts and signs given to the Church.
In this sense the CEC is wholly orthodox, wholly evangelical, wholly sacramental, and wholly charismatic. We adhere to the classical statement of ecumenicity: "In essentials: unity; in non-essentials: liberty; in all things: charity."
