The parish welcomes all people regardless of background, identity, race, age, sex, national origin, marital or family status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, level of education, religious background, or political viewpoint. Sunday worship includes a spoken Holy Eucharist at 8 a.m. and a choral service at 10 a.m., with children's worship and nursery care available. The church emphasizes liturgical tradition grounded in the Book of Common Prayer while maintaining an inclusive, questioning spirit that respects diverse perspectives and other faiths.
