We're so glad you're visiting us!

If you’re visiting us for the first time you’ve found us in an exciting time of change, hope and opportunity.  Like our great state of Minnesota, the Episcopal Church in Minnesota is celebrating its Sesquicentennial.  Over these 150 years since that first church, our Episopcal community in Minnesota has grown, expanded and redefined what it means to join God's mission in the world.

The first way you might notice our work within God's mission is through our connections throughout the world.  The Episcopal Church is part of the larger Anglican Communion, which is a worldwide community of believers who intentionally maintain community and commonality in prayer and worship.  As you may have heard, the Anglican Communion is wrestling with what it means to be Anglican on a global scale in the 21st century.  Much like the rest of the world, our church is while remaining in communion of mutual respect and compassion.

We also work within God's mission by welcoming all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, class, gender or belief are welcome in our community. 

Our very first Bishop, Henry Benjamin Whipple worked and served with the Native American community. While others were persecuting them, he was ordaining them.  Today our Bishop, James L. Jelinek continues in that tradition directly stating that in this Diocese all people will be welcomed in the church.

So, become part of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota.

Find a church home and join the vibrant work of one of our many local communities.

Work with one of our social service organizations to help those in need or those who are hurting.

There are many ways for you to find a community in the Episcopal Church.

We've been waiting on you.
