Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here

Meet Reverend Jenny

A big sign greets all at the entrance to St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods: Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, all are welcome here! Since my first week here, in  November 2022, I have discovered that this wide, warm welcome is truly at the heart of this community.

With you on the journey,

Rev. Jenny+

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!
