It can sometimes feel intimidating to enter a church where you have never worshipped.

Many people find our liturgy (our style of worship), a very holy experience. We hope that when you worship with us you find yourself encountering God in a new and exciting way. In the Episcopal Church everyone participates in the service, if fact the word liturgy means “the work of the people.
