Already baptized?
In the Episcopal Church, you officially become a member of a particular parish when you have your previous parish send a 'letter of transfer' to Christ Church Episcopal. If you do wish to provide a letter of transfer, please ask your former parish to send your letter to our office.
If you are coming from a tradition other than the Episcopal Church, please contact us.
It's important for you to know that you are welcome at everything Christ Church has to offer, no matter what- a letter of transfer is not required. If you consider yourself a member, you're a member!
WHAT IS AN EPISCOPALIAN?
The Episcopal Church strives to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ.
The beauty of the Episcopal tradition is that it is open to questions and new possibilities, as well as ancient teachings. Imagine a spiritual practice that is both grounded in tradition and open to new possibilities.
BELONGING
We're glad you found us! Our hope is that you will more fully experience the presence of God in your life as you worship with us and continue your spiritual journey at Christ Church Episcopal. You are invited to participate fully in the life of this community: worship, study, and serve others in a variety of ways!
