St. Athanasius is a welcoming, multicultural, growing, learning, healing, serving, justice-promoting and risk-taking community. Our mission statement is
God loves us - no exceptions.
We love God.
We welcome all.
We serve the world.
Our worship life is rich, and it happens in three languages: English, Spanish and Korean. We love to share our stories because it helps break down barriers that arise between people. We seek to make the inclusive, transforming love of God tangible through spirituality, community and actions of peace with justice. Through worship, music, preaching and classes, the teachings of Jesus become fresh and relevant in a faith that is lived out on a daily basis. Jesus’ central message of compassion and respect for all people underscores all that we undertake. We reach across all divides and challenge one another and the whole church to live out Jesus’ message.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
