About Us

We believe that every person is a child of God, that God gave the life of His Son Jesus Christ to redeem us; and that our lives are lived on a journey towards God who loves and cares for each one of us.

We believe that God has given us the Bible; the history and tradition of others who have pursued this journey; as well as our own reason and experience with which to discern His will in our lives and to lead us on our journey.

We believe that it is often during periods of doubts and uncertainty that God's will emerges most clearly for us.

We believe that God's love is acutely present in the life and worship of His Church. For it is here that Christ is a Real Presence in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and it is around this Sacrament which His community gathers.

We believe that in this gathered community, each generation has a unique and essential part to play as they help each other along their path and "grow into the full stature of Christ."

We believe that our Christian journey must find expression in a life lived in daily service to our neighbor and the world.

The Episcopal Church is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion, with 70 million members in 163 countries. We are a community of Christians bound together by our belief that Holy Scripture contains the very core of all Christian faith. Through the many ancient, as well as modern, stories that connects us to Jesus and his teachings, we discover God's hope and call to us in our life together.

We believe there is One God who creates all things, redeems us from sin and death and renews us as the Children of God. As Episcopalians we promise to follow Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We believe the mission of our church is restoration of all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.
