What We Believe | St. Columba's Episcopal Church v2

We believe God is always offering love in ever-widening circles of embrace, drawing all people and all creation into one. At St. Columba’s we try to reflect and embody God’s embrace as we welcome one another, seek the face of God and respect the dignity and integrity of every person, and become beloved community. Whoever you are, and whatever journey you’ve been on, you are welcome at St. Columba’s. We come in every shape, color, age and gender expression; we are gay, straight, and everywhere in between; some of us are seasoned Christians and life-long Episcopalians; many of us found our way from different backgrounds; most of us are seeking to grow in faithfulness, asking questions, striving to create a just society, and eager to Live God’s Love day by day. Join us.

Mary recently wrote, “I've been at St Columba's just under two years now, and am happy to report it has changed my life. I'm more at peace and intrigued to learn to “live God's love" in all things. It's a very different focus from [my prior church experience]. Glad I got here when I did.”

The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. ~ Anne Lamott

Joining a church doesn’t mean you don’t have big questions or doubts. Deciding to be part of a loving community of faith means you’re open to exploring and wrestling with those big questions and doubts. Most people here did not grow up in The Episcopal Church. Some have never been a member of any church. Many have a background in a different church or faith tradition. At St. Columba’s, there will be many opportunities to learn, ask questions, and get to know other pilgrims along the way. Our deepest hope is that everyone who steps through our doors knows they belong here.

Let's Stay in Touch!

A pledge is a promise - a promise to give a certain amount over the course of the following year. We don’t expect you to fulfill your pledge in one lump gift. Many find they can give more when pledging and then giving incrementally over the course of the year.

Pledging before the start of each calendar year is critical for clergy and staff to develop an annual budget and plan to serve you and our wider community.

Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. The Bible encourages the tithe – or 10% of your annual income – and we encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.

When you give to St. Columba’s you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to Live God’s Love.

Our mission is funded by you – St. Columbans and other supporters.

St. Columba’s is grateful for your generosity. We accepts gifts in the form of cash, checks, appreciated stocks, Charitable IRA Rollovers, Donor Advised Gifts, and matching gifts. If you would like to include us in your end-of-life charitable gift plans, we accept bequests, life income gifts, and gifts of special assets (real estate, closely held stock, life insurance).
