Our Mission

Our mission at St. Francis Episcopal Church & Day School is to be a loving community that nurtures those who seek to follow Jesus Christ and respond faithfully to God’s call to ministry in the world. In particular, we strive to embody the Franciscan virtues of simplicity, compassion and hope as honest, beautiful, and true expressions of a faithful life.

What We Believe

Episcopalians believe that

  • the Holy Scriptures are the revealed word of God, which is to be interpreted by the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
  • the Nicene Creed is the basic statement of our belief about God.
  • the two great Sacraments given by Christ to the Church are Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.

The Episcopal Church wholeheartedly believes that, whether or not we agree on a particular topic, we all are beloved by God. Everyone is welcome, as we are companions in holy transformation.
