St. Theodore's Episcopal Church is a “Great Commission Parish” serving the Northwest Arkansas communities of Bella Vista and Bentonville since 1979.
Named for an aged monk who was called to become Archbishop of Canterbury after his retirement from active religious vocation, we are the first Episcopal Church in America to bear his name.
The choice of Theodore as our patron saint reflects our common belief that ministry is the work of every faithful Christian and fundamental to our Baptismal Covenant regardless of one's age. Life's wisdom and experience are a legacy of faith to be shared from one generation to the next. The demographic make-up of our congregation reflects the diversity and rapid growth of this dynamic community, which is home to the Wal-Mart Corporation.
While we are situated in what was once a retirement community, but today St. Theodore's is the church home to an increasing number of young professionals and their families.
