St. Andrew’s is dedicated to the perpetual maintenance of the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Way, as outlined in the traditional Anglican formularies (Scripture, the Canons and Constitution of the Church, the Book of Common Prayer, etc.). We follow the simple outline of the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of the Anglican Way.

The Church is based on one canon of Holy Scripture, in two Testaments, Old and New, which reveal a unified truth of the glory and mercy of God. That understanding of God is summarized in three ancient and ecumenical Creeds, the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian, and in the teaching of the first four Ecumenical Councils (at Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus, and Chalcedon).

Finally, the general life of the Church is to be guided by the life of the undivided Christian Church of the first five centuries: in worship, discipline, ministry, and mission. Thus, as St. Andrew’s former rector, Fr. Louis Tarsitano says, “The Anglican Way is a life lived in Christ under God the Father, with the Holy Ghost, and in unity with the historic Apostolic church.”
