We are a welcoming and affirming church, which means we accept and value all people. No exceptions!
We are a church firmly rooted in the Holy Scriptures, but tradition and reason help to shape our faith also. Our worship style has its origins in the earliest known Christian communities and we value and learn from the experiences of God of the faithful Christians who have gone before us.
Our faith is a living faith, and our church is a community, not an idea.
We hope you’ll visit us one Sunday and see what we’re about!

At Resurrection, adults and children worship all together. We believe that it is important that families worship together and that children feel accepted as full members of our church from an early age.
Episcopal worship has a rhythm. When you arrive, you will be given a booklet which makes it easy to follow along with what’s happening in the service. We begin the service with music, end with music, and have other musical offerings throughout. We then offer opening prayers. We listen to several readings from the Bible. You will hear a message that connects the scriptures to our life. We stand together and recite our statement of Christian faith expressed in the Nicene Creed. We offer prayers of healing and thanksgiving and we corporately confess our sins. We exchange a greeting of peace with others present and give an offering of money to sustain the work of God’s kingdom through the church. In preparation to receive the bread and wine of Communion, our priest and pastor leads us in the Eucharistic prayers (a word meaning “thanksgiving”) and then we receive Holy Communion. The service concludes with a final prayer, blessing, and a dismissal from our Deacon with the reminder to “Go into the world and serve in the name of the Lord!”
