We are a vibrant church community that is inclusive, welcoming, and inter-generational. We gather in community weekly to thank, praise, and dwell with God.
When we worship, we gather with others before God. We hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, give thanks, confess, and offer the brokenness of the world to God. As we break bread, our eyes are opened to the presence of Christ. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are made one body, the body of Christ sent forth to live the Way of Love.

How We Worship
We are a community of open and affirming Christians rooted in the tradition of the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion whose lives are centered around the Good News of God revealed in the person of Jesus Christ.
Our worship liturgy draws from the Book of Common Prayer Rite II, Enriching Our Worship, and other approved Episcopal liturgical resources. We believe in the full inclusion of all people in the life and sacraments of the church.
Sacraments & Pastoral Rites
Baptism
Baptism is the sacrament by which we are raised to new and eternal life in Christ. In Baptism, we meet Jesus, who calls us his own, and commit to follow him as his disciples. All are welcome to be baptized, whether it’s your child or yourself. To discuss options, please reach out to Pastor Kathy.
Weddings
Weddings are one of the places where God’s love is most intensely revealed; through the love of two people for each other. They are a time for the celebration of this love, which can be expressed between partners in a multitude of ways regardless of sex and gender. If you are interested in getting married at our church, contact Pastor Kathy.
Funerals
The service of Christian burial marks two things: the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ, who our loved ones have gone on to meet; and our lament that they are no longer with us. From Last Rites to the graveside, we will walk with you through times of grief. To make arrangements, contact Pastor Kathy.
