Mission, Vision, Values
Our inclusive approach to faith and spirituality meets people wherever they are on their journey. We view spirituality as a dynamic way of life that allows for a deepening of faith, a collective sense of belonging, and a growing intimacy with the always accessible yet ever transcendent nature of God.
We embrace the rich heritage of the Episcopal Church while exploring other traditions and cultures, both ancient and modern. Our worship experience is enhanced by the excellence of our music program, the presentation of liturgy as relevant to our lives, and the beauty and elegance of our historic Victorian gothic church.
