Welcome to St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church
An inclusive, welcoming, and vibrant community
At St. Margaret’s, we believe in the power of community — where all are welcomed, valued, and supported on their spiritual journey. As we continue to grow, we invite you to be part of something special: a vibrant congregation committed to living out the love and teachings of Christ. Whether you’re new to the area, seeking a deeper connection, or looking for a place where you truly belong, we would love to welcome you.
As an Episcopal church, we strive to be a welcoming and inclusive space where everyone—regardless of background, experience, or identity—can come as they are and find a home. We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. Through our worship, service, and fellowship, we seek to reflect the love of Christ, who calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We are dedicated to promoting social justice, reconciliation, and equality, both within our church and in the broader community. We stand with those who are marginalized and oppressed and work to create a world where all people are treated with fairness and respect.
Eucharist services are conducted every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. All are welcome.
