A community of people whose lives were centered on Jesus Christ and committed to living the way of God\u2019s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love. As Episcopalians, we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God\u2019s love for every human being. Ordination and the offices of bishop, priest, and deacon are open to all without discrimination. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender,&nbsp;sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that God loves us all \u2013 no exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div
