FAQ

  • What is an Episcopalian?

    We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.  We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.


    The Episcopal Church is a blend of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.  Much of Episcopal theology is Protestant in nature.  Episcopal worship, spiritual practice, and church structure bears resemblance  to Catholicism.
