The Episcopal Church
St. Elisabeth’s is a part of the Episcopal Church, a multinational denomination and member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The mission of the church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” In step with that mission, The Episcopal Church follows Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth.
Locally, St. Elisabeth’s is a member church of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, which consists of 127 churches in the greater Chicago area. St. Elisabeth’s has also partnered with three neighboring congregations to form the Better Together Partnership, in order to share gifts and resources across a broader community.
