What We Believe

We are a conservative, orthodox, Anglican church. We profess our faith through the three ancient creeds of the Church: the Apostles, Nicene, and the Athanasian Creeds. The Holy Scriptures and the Book of Common Prayer (ACNA), including the 39 Articles of Religion, are our rule for Faith and Practice. We also hold to the Jerusalem Statement (2008) and the ACNA’s Theological Statement (2008).

We are:

Bible-based
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness…” (2 Timothy 3:16)

Christ-centered
Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

All Sinners
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23)

Forgiven
“…and are justified freely by his grace through
the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:24)

Spirit-filled
“Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25)

A Family
Jesus said “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35)

Our Story

Since 2010, Christ Our Hope has been a dynamic Christian presence in the greater Dayton community. After 9 years of meeting and ministering in our Riverside location, we rejoice to have been able to purchase and move into our own property in Bath Township between Fairborn and Beavercreek. We are dedicated to Christ and spreading His message of humility and love, and worship together using the liturgy of the historic Anglican Church.

Christ Our Hope is part of the Reformed Episcopal Church, which is part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). The ACNA unites some 100,000 Anglicans in nearly 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada into a single Communion.

We believe in loving the Lord, Jesus Christ, and in serving our neighbors. Because of this, we have been involved with many ministries serving our community, including St. Lazarus Mission, Dominion Academy of Dayton, and more. As we settle in to our new location, we are excited to meet and build relationships with our new neighbors throughout Fairborn and Beavercreek.

You are invited to come and see. Sunday school for all ages begins at 9:00 a.m. At 10:00, we celebrate Holy Communion.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
