As the Rector and Vestry members of St. David's Episcopal Church, we affirm that we are called to be a community of faith which is receptive to receiving the love of God, striving to love our neighbors as ourselves, and proclaiming by word and example the Good News as revealed in the ministry of Jesus Christ.

Our vision is to be the Church, the incarnation of the Kingdom of God, called to celebrate God's presence in our worship for all ages and in our fellowship;

to proclaim Christ crucified and risen, and to bring others into that experience;

to grow intellectually and spiritually as we learn and pray together;

to practice faithful stewardship, sharing our time, talents and treasure;

so that equippped we are able to follow the example of Jesus who loved and served others,  and empowered by the Spirit, to work for reconciliation, healing and justice;

trusting in the God of new creation who longs for the transformation of ourselves, our church and our world.
