What to Expect

What are services like?
We celebrate Rite I Eucharist at the 8am Sunday services with little music; it is a reverent service with a warm and welcoming group of parishioners. We celebrate Rite II Eucharist at 10:30am with traditional organ and choir music. We provide free child care and we have a very active teen program.

What is the community like?
We celebrate a diverse and vibrant parish community. Young and older, conservative and progressive and supportive of our LBGT parishioners. We welcome everyone and encourage all to share this very special and unique parish.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All are welcome. We all share a willingness and desire to do good in this world and to have a warm and supportive community. It's a cliché, but true....life is a journey, not a destination.
