We believe God calls us:
…to grow and deepen our relationship with God in Christ Jesus
…to be an active, inviting, inclusive, and multicultural community of faith
…to support, care for, and learn from each other at all stages of life, from infant to elder
…to reach out to those within and outside our church community
…to come together in fellowship in large and small groups to share and live our faith.
We’d love for you to be a part of our lives together.
The local congregation of St. Mary’s in Anchorage lives, works, and gathers for worship on the unceded lands of the K’enaht’ana Dena’ina people. We acknowledge the trauma caused by racism and oppression in the United States and the Church, and are committed to learning, growing, and working for meaningful healing and change.
Giving is a powerful spiritual practice. It’s a statement of gratitude and trust in God.
At St. Mary’s we encourage all our members to prayerfully consider giving abundantly toward causes that serve God’s mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to our parish, both so our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at St. Mary’s.
