Welcome to St. Catherine's!
"You are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, . . . with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone." Ephesians 2: 19-20
The mission of St. Catherine's is to nurture each other in
the knowledge and love of God, and to proclaim the Good News of Christ in the
world.
The people of St. Catherine's are a diverse group, joined in a shared
commitment to Jesus Christ. Newcomers are welcomed and invited to become a part
of the many activities. Through worship, music, Christian Education, service,
and fellowship, we are all striving to deepen our relationship with Christ and
with one another.
As Christians, we believe in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our faith is
grounded in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, informed by two thousand
years of church tradition, and shaped by reason. We affirm the Apostles' and
Nicene Creeds, celebrate the two great Sacraments of the Church, Holy Baptism
and Holy Communion, and we acknowledge the historic Apostolic Succession.
We have a tolerance for a wide variety of views and differing understandings. We
lead through persuasion, not coercion, and trust that the mercy of God will
forgive our sins.
