Life’s Sacred Moments

Life is full of holy moments, welcoming a new life, celebrating love, or saying goodbye to someone dear. In each of these, the Episcopal Church is here to accompany you with care and compassion. These sacred moments are part of life’s journey, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Baptism

Baptism is how we welcome people of all ages into the Body of Christ. It’s a joyful celebration of new life and commitment, rooted in community, prayer, and love. If you or your child is ready to begin this spiritual journey, we invite you to connect with a local parish and speak with a priest about preparation and next steps.

Weddings

Weddings in the Episcopal Church are beautiful celebrations of love and lifelong commitment, grounded in Christian faith. Marriage is a sacrament, a sign of God’s grace, and we are honored to support couples as they prepare for this joyful covenant. If you are hoping to be married in an Episcopal church, please contact a parish priest before setting a date.

Funerals and Memorial Services

Funerals and Memorial Services are moments to honor a life and offer comfort in community. Episcopal burial services are rooted in the hope of resurrection and the eternal love of God. They are both solemn and joy-filled, expressing sorrow in grief and thanksgiving for the life of the departed. All funeral arrangements are made in conversation with the clergy.
