Mission Statement
We are a welcoming and diverse community of faith that seeks to follow the way of Jesus Christ by serving and worshipping God.
Our beliefs:
∙ Worshipping in the love of Christ’s teachings and the Episcopal tradition reveals God more clearly so that we understand His call to us and live a life of faith.
∙ Every spiritual journey is unique and nurtured by curiosity about God and the nature of faith.
∙ We show our love of Jesus through outreach to the world around us.
∙ Stewardship, the nurturing of our earth and the sharing of our resources and gifts, is an essential part of who we are.
∙ An awareness of critical issues inspires us to align ourselves with the teachings of Jesus.
∙ Opportunities for fellowship strengthen the bonds of a community.
∙ Christian education at all ages deepens our relationship with God.
Worshiping and Serving Since 1873
