We believe worship is our source of power to be God’s people in the world. That means worship is the center of our life together, from which we are sent into the world renewed in body, mind, strength, and spirit.
Every Sunday we share in Holy Communion or as you’ll hear us say, “Holy-Common-Union,” where we celebrate our unbreakable union with God and one another. While we share in ancient liturgies, like Communion, also known as Holy Eucharist, known to some as the Lord’s Supper, we’re not stuffy about it. It’s okay if you don’t know what to do, or your kid cries, or you drop the bread into the wine. God loves you anyway, and so do we.

We also value prayer in our daily lives. One of our parish offerings is the Daily Office, which is the Episcopal pattern or “plan” for reading through the Bible via morning and evening prayer. You can learn more about the Daily Office here, and get in touch if you’d like to come pray with us one morning at 7am.
Even though we draw on the prayers of the ancient church, we are open to new things God is doing in our midst. One of our earliest priests was among the first women ordained in the Episcopal Church. Ours was the first Episcopal church in Arkansas to bless a same-sex marriage. We have long had LGBTQ+ leadership, both lay and ordained. We try to hold on to the best parts of our Anglican heritage, passed down through the Episcopal Church, while being open to innovating within that tradition.
