Come as you are

The Rev. Dr. Rich Bardusch
Discover a New Community at St. Alban's
St. Alban’s is the place where your personal faith meets others in a community of service. If you’re new to our area, away from church for a while, or just new to church, find our small community who will encourage your personal journey. Join about 60 (families and empty nesters) for a casual coffee and pastry time each Sunday or Saturday evening with our worship services.
Recharge your batteries at the beginning of each week. Join us for pre-service quiet time to invite God into your community, your family, and your busyness. Discover a peaceful start to your upcoming week.
Join our community each Sunday at 10 am. for an inspiring worship service followed by delicious coffee and pastry time immediately after.
At St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, “come as you are” is a sincere invitation to be fully yourself in the presence of God and others.
You don’t need to have everything figured out, and you don’t need to fit a certain mold to belong here. This spirit of welcome extends to every part of church life. There are no expectations about how you should dress, what you should already know, or where you are in your spiritual journey. We believe that God meets people right where they are, and that authentic community begins with honesty and grace. “Come as you are” is an open door—to worship, to connection, and to a deeper experience of God’s love.
