The history of the Episcopal Church finds its beginnings in the earliest colonization of the New World. It came to this country as the Church of England when the British first settled here.

With each new colony, chaplains and priests of the Anglican Church were sent as ministers, seeing to the spiritual needs of her people, and bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to native Americans.

Following the War of Independence, the Church of England in America reorganized itself officially as the Episcopal Church in America. And despite its new-found independence from English authority, it retains close ties with its parent Church.

Today the Episcopal Church remains part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which represents independent Anglican churches throughout the world.

Our Anglican heritage brings together the best of both the Catholic and Protestant traditions. As such, we have been characterized as a “bridge church” taking a “middle way” in matters of faith and spirituality.

Our statement of faith is founded in the two historical creeds accepted by all Christians; the Apostle's Creed and Nicene Creed. Likewise, we believe that the Bible is the revealed Word of God, and contains all things necessary for salvation. The two Holy Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper ordained by Christ himself, are visible signs of God's continued gift of grace.

Our regular worship of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a balance between Word and Sacrament. Each week we gather in “common-union” to be spiritually nourished; first, by hearing the Word of God proclaimed, and then, by receiving the assurance of God's forgiveness and grace given in the sharing of the Lord's Supper

The Episcopal Church embraces both diversity and unity. We celebrate our individuality, freedom of choice, and the infinite ways that God has endowed us with reason, memory and skill; while at the same time finding value in our unity, which comes from being joined in common prayer.

The Book of Common Prayer from which we worship is a symbol of that unity, and serves both as our rule of faith and prayer.

It is popularly said that the best understanding of who the Episcopal Church is can best be experienced by worshipping with us.
