As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.  We are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion which is historically anchored in the Church of England.

Our theology is based on the “three legged stool” – Holy Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. We welcome questions as we come together to search for meaning and purpose in our lives, grounded in God’s abundant love for all.

We believe that God loves you and all of creation – no exceptions.   

We strive to exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations which is reflected in those who serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.

Core aspects of our belief are: 

• The Book of Common Prayer 

• The Bible

• Baptismal Covenant 

• The Catechism (questions & answers about our faith, found in the Book of Common Prayer)

• The Creeds

• The Sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Unction)

You will be warmly welcomed and invited into our beautiful worship space. We are a liturgical denomination which means we follow set prayers that include celebrating Holy Communion where all are welcome. Our Sunday service is unique.  It is both joyful and reverent without being stuffy as we come together in prayer and song to experience the Mystery of God, reflecting both our Anglican tradition combined with vibrant contemporary music. 

No. All are welcome at St. David’s and our diverse community reflects our value of radical welcome to all who walk through our doors whether you are in jeans and sandals or a sport coat and tie, you will be met with a warm smile.

Each week we prepare a Sunday worship service with love and joy and we are excited to share this experience with you just as you are.

We have several spaces which can be used for your meeting or group! Visit Our Space to learn more
