Christianity 101: Church History

This faith community invites all persons to all levels of participation, leadership, and decision making within the church, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, physical or mental capacity, education, socioeconomic status, or marital status. We seek to establish meaningful connections with one another through worship, work, and play as we strive to understand God’s purpose for us in the church and in the world.

Accessibility All of our ground floor--including the Church, Chapel, Parish Office, Guild Room, Living Room, and washroom--is accessible.

Through sacraments and sacramental rites we participate in God’s graceful and tangible presence in our lives. Baptism, confirmation, weddings, and funerals are outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace. At St. Elisabeth’s, we are here to accompany you through these moments in your life.
