Theology

Buck Mountain is part of The Episcopal Church and, by extension, a part of the worldwide Anglican Community. We honor the Bible and include several readings from scripture in every worship service. We use the Book of Common Prayer for our worship services. This wonderful compendium of worship materials is a treasure for the church as a whole and for individual members. We treasure the open-minded nature of our Anglican heritage and we value inquiry and the use of the intellect in the life of faith.
