Who we are
- Christians proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord. We are baptized into his death and resurrection. We strive to follow him in all things.
- Our faith and practice is grounded in the tradition of the Church–that is, what has been handed on to us– going back to Jesus and the apostles. No, we’re not Roman Catholics, though we have much in common with our friends in that tradition.
- Our spiritual ‘DNA’ comes from the Church of England, and we are part of the family of 38 churches, all over the world, in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
- The Episcopal Church, established in 1789, is the American expression of Anglican Christianity. We are one of 110 dioceses that mutually support one another in a common doctrine, discipline, and worship.
We welcome you to visit, engage, and belong.
