As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.
We Believe that God Loves You - No Exceptions.
The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.
Together we exist to love and serve both God and our neighbor, inviting all to share in the joy of God's unconditional love.

Book of Common Prayer
Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, we hope you will join us at each Sunday Morning for Holy Communion and Fellowship. For those familiar with the Episcopal Church or any service with roots in the Anglican Church, you should feel comfortable with our service, which uses the Book of Common Prayer. If you aren’t, our bulletins provide enough of the service to help you follow along like a pro! In any case, we hope you will come and find the service meaningful for you.

The Bible
“Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 236).The Bible is our foundation, understood through tradition and reason, containing all things necessary for salvation. Our worship is filled with Scripture from beginning to end. Approximately 70% of the Book of Common Prayer comes directly from the Bible.

Baptismal Covenant
“Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 292).A mini-catechism used at baptisms and on Easter and other special occasions, the baptismal covenant opens with a question-and-answer version of the statement of faith that is the Apostles’ Creed and adds five questions regarding how we, as Christians, are called to live out our faith.

Found in the Book of Common Prayer, these include:
Confirmation (the adult affirmation of our baptismal vows), pp. 413-419
Reconciliation of a Penitent (private confession), pp. 447-452

The Sacraments
“Sacraments are outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 857).Besides baptism and the Eucharist (Holy Communion), the church recognizes other spiritual markers in our journey of faith.
