We are a community of Christians who have chosen the Episcopal Church as our denominational home and this parish as our church family. Some of us have been Episcopalians all our lives; a few were even founding members of this parish back in 1948. Most of us, however, have come from other denominations and are newer to the St. Charles area. 

We are young and old, single and married, of different social and economic backgrounds. That which unites us is more important than our differences. We are all here because we find Jesus Christ in our worship, in our fellowship, in our education, and in our ministry and service to others. We value the friendliness and vitality of our parish, and  are excited about its future. We gain support, comfort, inspiration and guidance from the Word and Sacraments we share. 

We don't believe the Episcopal Church is the "only" church, but we value the way it has encompassed many different points of view and styles of piety, including within its life both the Catholic and the Protestant, the ancient and the reformed, the liberal and the conservative.


A prayer for the mission of
St. Charles' Episcopal Church

Gracious and loving God, prosper with your blessing the mission of Saint Charles' Episcopal Church. Deepen, we pray, our love for your Son, and strengthen our fellowship with each other, that we will have the strength to do our part in the building up of your church. Send your Holy Spirit to fill us with love for those outside the church and deepen our understanding of their needs. Help us to be a true light in our community, that in this place all people may be drawn into your fellowship and transformed by your love. All this we ask in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who died and rose for us, that we may grow into the full stature of Christ. Amen.
