The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church, and some of the first transgender priests in the Episcopal Church serve here in in the Diocese of California. 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 identity or sexual orientation. We are delighted to offer the sacrament of marriage (and all other sacraments) to all couples, no matter their genders. We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

As part of the Episcopal Church, Church of the Resurrection is a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21^st century. We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

The Episcopal Church

At Church of the Resurrection, all our ministry and work in the wider community depends on the generosity of our members and visitors! If you'd like to make a one-time donation, you can use PayPal, send a check to the church, or drop your gift in the offering plate on Sunday. If you're considering a regular donation, which we call an annual pledge, you can learn more here. Thank you for all you help to make possible!

Stewardship is the practice of caring for and working with all that we have. How we choose to spend our money is one sign of what is important to us, and it can be an intentional expression of gratitude for all that God has given us. A pledge is a promise most members of our church make each year for how we intend to give money to Church of the Resurrection in the next year. Annual pledges support everything we do here.

For nearly 20 years, members of Church of the Resurrection have both given gifts and made planned gifts to the Legacy Fund, with the goal of supporting the church's mission and outreach efforts. Joining this group is a way to make a lasting impact on the community, and create new opportunities for years to come.
