Episcopal is a denomination of the Christian faith rooted in the history of the Anglican church. To put it more simply: when the United States was formed, colonial congregations also had to separate from the Church of England, so The Episcopal Church began!
The word “Episcopal” means a church that’s governed by bishops. Our church leadership on every level is voted into office, including our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry. Churches themselves are democratically governed by a body of parishioners known as a “Vestry”. This style of leadership furthers our aim to be a cooperative community thriving in the light of Christ.
