The mission of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church is to worship, to serve, and to form the spiritual and moral growth of individuals according to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Believing that the true expression of our religion is the way we live our lives--We, the members of St. Margaret Episcopal Church, commit to use our diverse gifts in shared ministry as a catalyst for promoting greater love and understanding among ourselves and in our community.

O God, by Your grace You have called us at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church to Live the Vision of a godly fellowship of  faith from Generation to Generation. Guide our discussion and decision making, stimulate our conversation, and may we grow closer to one another. May we be effective in our outreach to the community and a good example for morality in all out transactions. Hear our prayers for this parish family and inspire our witness of Your Son in this community and beyond. Grant us all things necessary for our ministry and common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within Your Holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
