What We Believe
God loves you. He loved you since the moment He first created you. He loved you before, during and after you were born, and will continue to love you your entire life (which is hopefully a journey of faith). God loves you in your failures and your successes. God loves you whether you are heterosexual, homosexual or non-sexual. God loves you whether you are young or old, rich or poor, saint or sinner (and we all are). God loves you in your elation and in your despair. God loves you whether you are an alcoholic, a drug abuser, or sex addict. God loves you whether you are tall or short, fat or skinny, exquisitely beautiful or plain as mud. Do you see a pattern here? God loves you. But like obstinate adolescents we rebel against our Heavenly Father and seek worldly things, selfish things, instead of those good and gracious gifts He pours down upon us all. And yet, like a parent who loves their child even when it disrespects him, God loves us even when we fail Him. And still He calls to us with sacred love and dearly wants our love in return. His love matures our hearts and leads us to worship, serve and follow Him, our Wondrous Creator.

Old St. Peter's Church affirms the principles of the ancient Catholic Church, which we believe to be the fulfillment of Christian Faith and Order that we have received from Jesus Christ and His Apostles. These principles are true "Matters of Faith", incapable of being changed, compromised or ignored by the stewards and ministers of the Church, and they must be upheld for the common and equal benefit of all the faithful. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament contain all things necessary to salvation, and are the ultimate rule and standard of faith. We acknowledge the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds as definitive statements of the Christian faith. We emphasize the necessity of the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, and we unfailingly use the words and elements which our Lord ordained. We support the Historic Episcopate as the means of ensuring the unity of the Church and maintaining true Apostolic Succession.

All of the traditional values and doctrines which have made the Christian Church the great witness of our Lord's teachings are alive and well, and we invite you to join us as we celebrate Jesus Christ in the Sacraments and proclaim His message of salvation!
