The Episcopal Church is the American branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are known for our rich liturgical tradition, emphasis on inclusivity, and balance of scripture, tradition, and reason in matters of faith.

We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection are central to the faith. We affirm the historic creeds of the Church, such as the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. The Episcopal Church believes that God loves everyone without exception and embraces a legacy of inclusion.

The mission of the Episcopal Church is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. Our mission is lived out through worship, service, and advocacy for social justice. We are involved in a wide range of mission work, from local community service to global advocacy.

Our worship is centered around the Book of Common Prayer, which provides a structure for services and includes prayers, liturgies, and teachings. The Church celebrates the sacraments, with Baptism and the Eucharist being the two primary ones.

We are a welcoming community that values diversity and seeks to include people of all backgrounds. The Episcopal Church is a place where people can explore their faith, ask questions, and grow in their relationship with God and with one another.
