MISSION AND VISION
The mission of the parish of St. Mary's-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church is to proclaim God's presence and grace in the world and spread the Word of the Lord. We strive to live by the Great Commandment: to love the lord our God with all our hearts and minds and souls, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We want all our programs and activities to further these goals.
We want St. Mary's to be a spiritual community: where all people are welcome, where all can grow in their understanding and experience of God, revealed in Jesus Christ, and where all can discover and develop their own unique ministries in the world.
