Our Story
We started in the 1940's when six families joined together, creating a place for their children to grow in faith. Over time we grew through prayer and worship until God blessed us with our current building, and we continue those foundations of worship, growth, and prayer today as we seek to be a presence for Jesus in the community of Lakewood.
As part of a larger family called the Episcopal Church, we inherit a way of bring Christian focused on Scripture, Tradition, and Reason to live out our ancient faith into the modern world.
Our Faith and Values
God the good creator
God is the good creator whose will for creation is salvation rather than destruction. The natural world and our physical bodies are God’s own good gifts for us.
Jesus as Savior and Lord
Jesus is God, who became fully human to save us from powers which seek to corrupt and destroy God’s creation. By his death and resurrection we have a hope for our future resurrection in a New Creation.
The Bible informed by tradition and reason
We value the Bible, reading it in conversation with Christians of the past as well as insights from our current knowledge of the world. We value listening to differences, discerning between what it truly core to the Christian Faith and what is open for a diversity of viewpoints.
Ancient Faith, Modern World
Our worship is rooted in ancient prayers, rituals, and practices hallowed over time by faithful Christians stretching back into the earliest days of the church, while also being adaptable for both the future and God’s mission.
The Gospel for all people to the end of time
As part of the Episcopal Church, we invite all people from every nation, race, gender identity, and sexual orientation to follow Jesus though Baptism as his disciple and take part in the full life of the Church.
