Location and Services:
We are located at 101 Riverside Avenue in Ben Lomond, California. Join us on Sundays at 10am for worship and fellowship. All are welcome!

Weekly Bible Study: Tuesdays at 11am in the Parish Hall. June 16, 2026 will be the last session until we begin again in September.

Every Sunday, those who love to sing, you are invited to gather in Church at around 9:30am to practice the hymns we will be singing that Sunday. Everyone is welcome!

What does it mean when you say “All Are Welcome”?
It’s what makes us as an Episcopal church – the idea that all are welcome in our church, at our table. No matter your orientation, denomination, race, ethnicity, political beliefs, what has happened in your past – we come here together to worship and share in fellowship and love, just as Jesus taught us.
