evangelical in our Doctrinal Essentials affirming the authority of Holy Scripture (and our emphasis on preaching and teaching the Bible) and professing the historic confessions of faith (Apostle's, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds). We stress the proclamation of the Gospel not only in our preaching but also in our lifestyles, seeking to reach the lost for Christ. Also, our bishops are in Apostolic Succession. We are liturgical and sacramental in our approach to the sacraments as tools used by God to minister His Truth to the world and to "act out" the work of Christ. We are charismatic in our dependence on the Holy Spirit to fill and empower His Church and we seek to be open to His presence.

The Province of St. Peter is very relational, believing that our relationship to Christ is of primary importance and that relationships to one another are critical to the Christian life. The Dioceses within the Province are relationally based rather than geographic, each of the churches and ministries receiving oversight from a bishop with whom they have a genuine relationship rather than just an organizational relationship.

As a Province we are in full communion with the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches and as such are an extra-territorial Province (which means that we are not limited to a specific geographical area). We are currently in relationship with churches and ministries not only throughout the USA but also the West Indies portions of South America and parts of Mexico. We also have evangelistic teams and religious orders that are seeking to minister to American subcultures.
