Apostolic Orthodoxy

We wholeheartedly affirm our commitment to Apostolic Orthodoxy, a return to the sacred Scriptures and the apostolic faith as it was known and practiced within the first two centuries of the Church. 

This is the faith that the apostles personally received from our Lord Jesus Christ—“the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). It is the divine revelation that was given to Moses, fulfilled in Christ, and now encompasses the fullness of God’s kingdom. As the Apostle Paul declared, “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). 

Apostolic Orthodoxy stands on three foundational pillars of understanding: 

• The Holy Scriptures – Our first and final authority, as the Word of God is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16).
• The Teachings of the Church Fathers – Those who were direct disciples of the apostles and faithfully transmitted their teachings. Paul exhorts, “The things which you heard from me… commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2).
• The Apostolic Traditions – The worship, practices, and beliefs that the apostles themselves upheld, as Paul instructed, “Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle” (2 Thessalonians 2:15). 

This “faith triangle” forms the unshakable foundation upon which we understand and proclaim the Gospel. To be apostolically orthodox means that both our doctrine and practice must be in harmony with what was taught, known, and lived by the apostles. We remain steadfast in the continuity of the faith, adhering to the unbroken tradition of the Church as preserved in the first two centuries. 

As Scripture testifies, “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). Thus, in faith and practice, we uphold Apostolic Orthodoxy, remaining rooted in the truth once delivered, preserved by the saints, and revealed through the life of the Church.
