Welcome

We are an Episcopal Church community with members of all ages, several races and nationalities, men and women. We are also a welcoming and affirming congregation for lesbians and gay men. As a congregation of just under 150 members (including the babies), we have been able to appreciate an "extended family" atmosphere in our congregation. We particularly invite students to be part of this family. St. Aidan's is a good place to come and be involved and known in a very short period of time.

Our most important time together is our Sunday morning worship services at 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM. (8:30 AM and 10:00 AM during the summer months) Our worship style is traditional Episcopalian in that the earlier service tends to be quieter and more reflective while the later service is more festive with a mix of musical genres, both traditional and contemporary. At the same time, we avail opportunities to utilize innovative liturgies at both services.

St. Aidan's has a healthy tradition of offering additional educational or spiritual growth opportunities and a large percentage of the congregation also participate in these as each person recognizes his or her own need to be on a spiritual journey and to make faith commitments.

For over 30 years we have been in an ecumenical relationship with Northside Presbyterian Church and much of our richness comes from our shared study, social action and worship with the Presbyterians. This relationship is formally known as Northside Assiciated Ministries.

Many St. Aidanites report that St. Aidan's has for them been a spiritual home, a place of healing, a community of nurturance, and a church of challenge.
