Mission Statement
Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here!
We believe in a loving, liberating and life-giving God who extends welcome and dignity to all and asks us to tend to the wholeness of the Earth and all people. Jesus is our companion and guide, showing the way toward abundant love.
At St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods we cherish faith, family, community, and shared worship.
Who We Are
At St. Augustine’s, our shared worship is at the center of our community life. Our services follow many of the worship traditions and seasons of the liturgical year. For newcomers, some elements of our worship might seem confusing. The most important thing to remember is that ALL are welcome here and you can’t do anything wrong! We encourage earnest questioning and are just happy you are here!
St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods is delighted to welcome our new Priest in Charge. The Rev. William B. Stanton began his ministry with us on Palm Sunday!
