Welcome to St. Mary's! There are lots of ways to get connected at St. Mary’s, with fellow seekers and pilgrims on the spiritual journey, to God’s love in Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  We’re whooping it up here most days of the week and three times on Sunday.  I hope exploring our programs and celebrations on this web site brings you hope and joy. 

We’re Episcopalians, protestant and catholic and free.   We believe Jesus died to take away your sins, not your mind.  Questioning and seeking is at the heart of who we are.  We aren't afraid of questions; we know our God is big enough to take it.  We make lots of room for the big questions of life and the little ones too.   We have a great team of lay and ordained ministers ready and willing to walk, talk, study and pray with you.

We’re committed to meeting you where you are and going forward together.     There’s no test to pass before you get in the door.  You know how happy you are to see people you love that you haven’t seen for a long time?  It’s simple, God is happy whenever one who felt lost or one who was away comes home. There’s no zapping. Remember, the light is on for you.

What about kids?  We have lots of them, big ones, small ones and parents too.  We have an open, kid-friendly Family Service, and our church school, a/k/a Kids J.A.M. (Jesus and me), is fast-paced and never the same two weeks in a row.

Teen-agers?  Bring ‘em on!   We have a great team of adults who know how to play, mentor and challenge our youth in the Journey to Adulthood program.  There’s honest talk about who they are as spiritual, sexual, social selves and where God is in all of that.  This is not your mama’s confirmation class.  Our kids have too much facing them.  We’re busy building spiritual strength to meet the challenges of today.

If we can be of any help at any time, please don’t hesitate to phone or e-mail us.  Be blessed, and be a blessing!
