Some include our Altar Guild, Church School, Nursery, Adult and Youth Choir, Ushers, Lectors, Lay Eucharistic Ministers, Acolytes, Vestry, and Prayer Line. Also, we reach out to the community through our ministries with the Interfaith Council of Franklin, Franklin Food Pantry, Taunton Deanery, One Family program, and the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. We are a community in the best sense of the word. We are a family of Christians who gather to worship God. We endeavor to provide a spiritual space where people’s faith grows and is strengthened.

We believe that God is our Heavenly Father, that He loves us and wants us to return to Him, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer. Through His Atonement we will be resurrected and can return to live with God if we keep His commandments. The Holy Ghost is given to us to help us recognize truth and bring us to Christ. We believe that God reveals His will through prophets today, just as He did anciently. We believe that our life has a sacred purpose, that families are central to our Heavenly Father’s plan for us, and that through serving others we can experience joy and draw closer to God.

We believe the Church should be a place of nurture and growth that enables persons to live out their faith most effectively as disciples of Jesus Christ; that calls others to become disciples; and reaches out to the community and the world with our gifts and service.
