Our Mission
The mission of St. Francis Episcopal Church is to make God known through Worship and Service to others as a loving community.
Worship
The Sunday liturgy is Holy Eucharist Rite II. The Rite II liturgy uses a portion of the Book of Common Prayer containing worship services which use contemporary language. The word "Eucharist" is used to refer to what many other protestant denominations call "Communion."
St. Francis' Nursery is led by dedicated staff and parishioners who have been trained in Safeguarding God's Children. Silent pagers are available to alert parents if their presence is needed in the nursery.
St. Francis Preschool
St. Francis Preschool is an outreach ministry of our Church that provides a nurturing environment for Pre-Schoolers and Kindergartners. The school's purpose is to provide an educational environment that encourages children to grow socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and spiritually into responsible, caring adults. To learn more please visit the St. Francis Pre-School website.
Outreach
St. Francis participates in a number of Outreach ministries, both on-campus and out in the community. Learn more about these Outreach efforts on by visiting our Ministries page.
