Our Story
We started in the 1940's when six families joined together to create a place for their children to grow in faith. Through prayer and worship God blessed us with new families and with our current building. Today we continue those foundations of worship, growth, and prayer in being 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 which guides our ancient faith into the modern world.
Our Faith and Values
God the good creator
God is the good creator who desires salvation rather than destruction of creation. The natural world and our physical bodies are therefore 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 corrupt and destroy. By his death and resurrection we have hope for our own resurrection in the future 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 discerning between what it truly core to the Christian Faith and what is open to diverse ideas.
Ancient Faith, Modern World
Our worship is rooted in ancient prayers, rituals, and practices hallowed over time by faithful Christians into the earliest days of the church, while also being adaptable for the future of God’s mission for us.
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 through Baptism as his disciple and take part in the full life of the Church.
