All Are Welcome Here!

We are a welcoming, inclusive, and affirming parish in the
Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. 
​We seek to meet and serve Christ in all people and
​to glorify God in our words and actions.

Our church is nestled in the heart of ​​downtown Raleigh,  
​just one block west of the State Capitol. ​

​ Stewardship 

​Stewardship begins with an understanding that everything we have comes from God. We are blessed in so many different ways by God. Grateful for the gifts, large and small, which God has given us, we are invited by God to respond to God’s grace by generously giving back, by sharing the gifts and blessings that have been bestowed upon us, and by caring for the world which God has entrusted to us.

To submit your 2024 pledge online, take advantage of one of the quick & easy online options below:
If you prefer not to submit your pledge online, you will find pledge forms in the church and in the Parish Life Center. Please feel free to contact the Parish Office if you need assistance or have any questions.

Stewardship Prayer
Gracious and loving God, we understand that you call us to be the stewards of your abundance, the caretakers of all you have entrusted to us. Help us always to use your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously. May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives. Amen.

​Grab a Star from the Angel Tree
Our annual tradition of supporting the children of the Episcopal Farmworkers' Ministry continues. We will be providing gifts for about 80 children whose names and ages will be written on the stars hanging from the branches of our Angel Tree in the lobby of the PLC. To participate, take a star, write your name and contact information in the notebook by the tree, shop for the items and return your wrapped gifts (unless a bicycle or other very large item) to the church by December 17th. Please attach tags with the child's name and star number on each item in case they get separated. Thank you for your support!
