The Episcopal Church USA is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is Catholic in tradition, reformed in theology and evangelical in its mission. The primary Sunday worship service includes the proclamation of God's Holy Word and the celebration of Holy Eucharist, also known as the Mass, Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper. The church is united in common prayer throughout the world through the Book of Common Prayer. The basic format is the same in all Episcopal and Anglican churches throughout the world.
Many churches offer different styles of worship at different services.
A priest, who may be male or female, married or single young or old generally leads worship. People from the congregation also assist with the service. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion at the Episcopal Church. Please feel free to find an Episcopal Church near you and join us for worship.
