Join us as we engage the Scriptures and our lives and tell stories of faith.
Our goals will be
  • to respectfully engage the stories using the tools of modern science, history, sociology, and theology (among others)
  • to allow skepticism and doubt to deepen our respect for the story and widen our sense of God's presence in the text and our lives

Spiritual Formation is not just learning it
​ - it's living it!

Living the Sacraments

​The Episcopal Church embraces and upholds the rich sacramental traditions established by the Church. We understand that God is mysteriously available and accessible through Baptism, Communion, and the other sacraments. Our spiritual growth is enriched as we embrace the embodied nature of Christ in all things, living in and through us.

BELIEVE.  BEFRIEND.  BE LOVED.
