We are…
an inclusive Episcopal congregation open and welcoming to all regardless of age, race, finances, ability or orientation. We invite and encourage all who are seeking a deeper and more meaningful spiritual life to worship and learn with us.
We honor and respect the traditions of our liturgy. The liturgy is an integral part of our worship. But we are open to thoughtful adaptation of the liturgy, especially when the result is increased inclusion. Parishioners are welcome to question the liturgy while still taking part in it.
We love music and art and the way God is made known through creative works.
