Rooted Faith

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. - Colossians 2:6-7

As Episcopalians, we are above all rooted in Christ and his Church, and also in our historic tradition. The Episcopal Church balances Word, Sacrament, Spirit-empowered lives, and societal transformation. A robust liturgical worship experience with an emphasis on Scripture is foundational to our heritage. In good times and bad, people cling to the familiar – to traditions and rituals – which maintain stability and normalcy. When we don’t know what to pray, liturgy guides us. When we don’t know how to react, Scripture shapes us. When we need to be grounded, Tradition reminds us that we are part of something bigger than our present circumstances. Being rooted in the Diocese of Central Florida, the Episcopal Church, and the wider Anglican Communion frames all that we do.
