St. David’s Church is in a period of transition between rectors. In the interim period until a new rector is called, The Rev. Doug Simonsen serves the church with the title “Priest in Charge.”

In the Episcopal Church tradition of openness to thoughtful inquiry, St David’s is known as a church where questions are considered at least as important as answers. We treasure and honor the age-old heritage of Christian faith and practice, even as we encourage spiritual and intellectual exploration.

As Christian people, we accept the testimony of the first band of disciples. They believed that they had experienced the presence of God in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, who would become known by the title “Christ,” meaning “anointed one.” We accept, too, their conviction that the Christ continues to be a living, spiritual presence among the people of God. We hope to experience, share and be changed by that presence, rather than to define or explain it.

The first Christians were not theologians, but disciples, meaning students or followers. They called themselves followers of “the Way,” and understood themselves as people who were trying to live in the world as Jesus did: trusting God, loving one another, celebrating life, living without fear. They found that this “way” of living is one that nurtures the human spirit and forges a connection with the Spirit of God.

At St. David’s Church, we follow Jesus in order to find God, as those first disciples did. Our members come from many different faith backgrounds: Episcopal, Catholic, several varieties of Protestant, Buddhist, and “none of the above.” We share a desire for a rich worship experience. Our intention is to be a place where spirits are nurtured and pilgrims are helped along their way. Wherever you may be on your own journey, we want you to feel welcome here.

You are invited to walk our garden labyrinth, and to join us for traditional spoken worship on Sunday at 8 am, or for contemporary-language worship with music at 10 am. Children of any age are most welcome. God is expecting you; come and see.
