Questions before you come?

Send us a note

We'd love to hear from you. Tell us you're planning a visit, or ask anything at all.

You're welcome to come without contacting us first.

We use your note to answer you, and your "how you found us" answer to learn what reaches people. It stays with the parish and is never sold or passed on. How this site handles what you tell us.

What Sunday is like

A warm welcome, every time

Reverent worship, rooted in Scripture, prayer, preaching, and Holy Communion, in a small parish where visitors are genuinely noticed.

How long it lasts

The service runs about an hour; the sermon, about fifteen minutes.

What to wear

Anything from casual Sunday dress to traditional church clothing. Come as you are. You will be welcome.

Help following along

Page numbers are called aloud and a Prayer Book is provided, so you'll follow along with ease.

Coffee and fellowship

Bible Study for adults and Sunday School for the children follow at 11:30 a.m., with coffee and fellowship in between.

For families

Bringing children? You're in the right place.

Children are welcome in worship, Sunday School follows the service, and a nursery with a toddler play area is open in the Adkins Hall for parents who want it. It is not staffed, so you stay with your little one. Visiting with an infant or young child? Reach out, and we'll make sure you're cared for.

Getting here

Driving from

Most of us drive a while to get here

A traditional Anglican parish is worth the trip. Pick your town for the road, the time, and where to park.
