We welcome you

... if you are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, or confused. If you grew up in the church or haven’t been to church since Christmas 10 years ago. If you could use a prayer, or are feeling lonely, or don’t like organized religion. We welcome newcomers, oldcomers, seekers, doubters, and you. Holy Comforter has made a difference in our lives, and we believe it can do the same for you.

We gather together before God knowing that we are shaped prayer by prayer, day by day, season by season, as we worship. We read from the Bible every week and we hear a sermon in response to the scriptures. We profess the faith that we share, we pray for the needs of all people, and we celebrate the Eucharist along with the joys and blessings of life. 

Worship

Christian Formation for All Ages

Christian Formation is a life-long process of spiritual transformation undertaken in community with others, through prayer, study, and fellowship. There are formation opportunities for children, youths, and adults, along with intergenerational programs. 

How we serve our community

We are grounded in tradition while innovating to meet God’s call for the world we live in. We work to fulfill our Baptismal covenant to “seek and serve Christ in all persons,” and “respect the dignity of every human being”. We seek to highlight needs in our community and to encourage awareness and action among our parishioners through partnerships with community ministries.


Here are just a couple of our signature ministries.

Family Ministries

Children belong in worship! Their wiggles, their giggles, and even their tears are part of who they are, and a beautiful part of the rhythm and life of our community.


To support families and help children engage meaningfully in worship, we offer worship activity sheets, Children's Christian Formation at 9:30am, and Children's Chapel during the 10:30am service. Nursery care is available for children ages six weeks to age two while parents attend on-site worship and Christian formation classes. 


Our Youth Program includes weekly gatherings, experiential learning, youth-led worship, significant leadership and engagement with diocesan activities, challenging confirmation preparation, and fun. Our youth grow at church, in the community, and in the world.

Giving

Giving is more than a financial transaction. It is a response to God’s abundant love and a participation in God’s work in the world. Through our time, talent, and treasure, we build up this parish, reach out to others, and help bring Christ’s healing and hope to life. And it is how we nurture generous hearts.

Annual Pledge

Annual giving pledges go to fund the operating budget of the church which makes it possible for you to Be the Light and to share God’s love through our many ministries.

About the Episcopal Church

The Episcopal Church is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination primarily based in the United States and a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Known as a "middle way" between Protestantism and Catholicism, the church balances its theology on a "three-legged stool" of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. The word "episcopal" reflects its governance by bishops, though clergy and laypeople participate democratically in leadership. Worship centers on the Book of Common Prayer, emphasizing liturgical traditions and sacraments like Baptism and the Eucharist. The denomination is highly inclusive, opening all levels of ministry to everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and celebrating same-sex marriages.
