St. Mary's Episcopal Church
You are welcome here
In 1976, the Episcopal Church passed a resolution affirming that gay people are 'children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church.' The Episcopal Church has since embraced marriage equality, and it ordains priests and bishops irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity.
St. Mary's is an open and welcoming congregation. There is a significant LGBTQ population at St. Mary’s. A group of us get together regularly for fun events like brunch and movie night. Please know that you and your family will be warmly welcomed and respected here. Marriage is open to all people.
Please send a message with your email address below if you are interested in learning more about LGBTQ outreach, social events, or weddings at St. Mary's.
