Welcome to the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection!
We are delighted that you are interested in learning about our church, and hope we can welcome you here soon. Our worship is rooted in ancient Christian practices, and we strive to connect our faith with modern, everyday life.
Our mission is to nurture an inclusive church, where we worship, heal, and laugh, so that together we can share God’s love with the community.
We gather for worship, support children and youth, care for one another, explore life’s big questions together, and put our faith into action out in the world.
Who We Are
Our congregation is made up of people of all ages, different religious backgrounds, many shapes of families, different ethnicities, and a wide range of past experiences with Christianity. We are bound together by our love for God and each other, gratitude to share in community life, excitement to grow and learn, and a commitment to serve Christ by serving our neighbors and advocating for justice and peace. We also have a lot of fun!
We try to take the Gospel’s message of unconditional love seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We’re a pretty laid-back bunch — don’t worry if your kiddo squirms during the quiet parts of the service, or about what you wear, or if you don’t understand the flow of worship just yet. We’re grateful that we can come here exactly as we are.
We believe that with each new person who arrives here, our community is changed for the better. We trust that you bring gifts and wisdom, and can’t wait to connect and see what wonderful things we can dream up together.
Inclusion
The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion: people of all genders serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church, and we’re proud that the Diocese of California has helped to blaze these trails. Laypeople and clergy collaborate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God, and we celebrate it in all people in our church, across gender identities and sexual orientations. We are delighted to offer the sacrament of marriage (and all other sacraments) to all couples, of all genders.
We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.
