Meet Nativity & Episcopalians

Who We Are

Nativity is a proudly progressive Christian community, and we welcome and respect every person for who they are. Our services combine Eucharistic-centered liturgy and sermons that make you think. We seek to comfort you where you hurt and challenge you where you may have grown complacent. In all that we do, we seek to equip one another in living out our faith wherever we may be. Each liturgical season brings a change in the prayers we say. We draw language both from the Book of Common Prayer and hymns from the 1982 Hymnal as well as other sources.

If you are looking for a welcoming church home with no pressure, give Nativity a look. Our facility is wheelchair accessible, and we have plenty of parking.

What to Expect when You Come

Expect to be welcomed for who you are! Dress however you are comfortable, and we aren’t concerned if children make noise - truly that is a joyful noise to God!! There are bags of toys in the back of the church if your child would enjoy them. Join us for coffee hour and fellowship after church.

Logistics

The Episcopal Church USA

The national body of which we are a member congregation is the Episcopal Church USA, headed by our Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry. The church was organized after the American Revolution, when it became separate from the Church of England.The Episcopal Church was active in the Social Gospel movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since the 1960s and 1970s, the church has pursued a decidedly more liberal course. It has opposed the death penalty and supported the civil rights movement and affirmative action. . The Church calls for the full legal equality of LGBT people. In 2015, the Church's 78th triennial General Convention passed resolutions allowing the blessing of same-sex marriages and approved two official liturgies to bless such unions.
