Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you say "service," or "Sunday worship" we gather at 8:30 am and 10:30 am for all things praising God, community, and getting ready to work in the world. The 8:30 am service uses a formal Rite I (Elizabethan English) liturgy without music and the 10:30 am service offers music, choir, and all children's offerings, usually with nursery provided. In between the services on most Sundays, there is something to do, whether it's eating breakfast, working on a project, or engaging in Sunday School/Bible Study.
Every so often, we offer a "Combined Service" at 9:30 when we merge the 8:30 and 10:30 and worship as one church. Usually, Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, and Pentecost are days you can expect this. Check our home page for these changes. Summer worship also uses the 9:30 service time.

You can park in any available space in the front, on the side, or in the back. Handicap parking is accessible in the front and the side. Enter the white doors for the nave (big worship space) to the right or the white doors just to the left of those. You can’t go in a wrong door; Someone will show you where to go next.

Yes! Although your babies and littles are encouraged and welcome in worship, we have a certified nursery caregiver/teacher on most Sundays who cares for God's littlest in our clean and sweet space. Stop in to see Charisma and she will greet you and let you know what to do!

Yes again! While you do not have to be Episcopal or know anything about the particulars of the faith, the clergy are ALWAYS willing to answer questions (none are silly!) and we provide a "101" style class every January and a mini "101" in the fall. However, there is no one "right" way to worship and many of us do things a bit differently right in the same pew!
There are many books we can recommend according to where you are in your faith and seeking. Additionally, there is an "Ask us anything" box located in the narthex for questions that need fragile or confidential attention. The beautiful and quirky Episcopal tradition is both ancient and relevant, reverent and creative. Truly, ask us anything!
