Come as you are
or you’re walking through our doors for the first time,
you’ll find people who are glad you’re here.
A Welcome Message from
The Rev. Dr. Rich Bardusch
Welcome to Saint Alban’s Episcopal Church!
A Place to Grow in Faith, Build Friendships, and Serve Others
At Saint Alban’s, we believe faith is a personal journey made richer through a welcoming and supportive community. Whether you’re new to the area, returning to church after some time away, or exploring faith for the first time, you’ll find a place where you belong.
Our community of families, individuals, and empty nesters welcomes you with open arms. Join us each Sunday after our 9:00 a.m. worship service for a relaxed time of coffee, pastries, conversation, and fellowship. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and connect with others.
Recharge Your Spirit and Renew Your Faith
Start your week with a sense of peace, purpose, and connection. Take a few quiet moments before worship to reflect, pray, and invite God into your life, your family, and the busy week ahead. Discover how a meaningful connection with God and others can bring encouragement, strength, and joy to your everyday life.
Come Worship With Us!
We invite you to experience inspiring worship, meaningful fellowship, and a community committed to loving God, loving people, and sharing Christ’s message.
Sunday Worship Services: 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Come as you are. Bring your family, invite a friend, and discover a place to call your church home.
Saint Alban’s Episcopal Church
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.
