McCain was raised in the Episcopal church, his great-grandfather was an Episcopal minister, and he graduated from an Episcopal high school. Today, however, he attends the North Phoenix Baptist Church which is part of the Southern Baptist Convention. In 2007 he described himself as Baptist rather than Episcopalian and emphasized how important being a Christian is to him. In his book Character is Destiny he says that his religious faith helped him survive his years as a POW. McCain's church's theology is that Jesus chose to die on the cross as a sacrifice to pay a penalty the rest of us owed God, even though Jesus himself led a sinless life.
