Celebrating God's Love with Everyone

 

Located "at the bend" on Bluemel Rd., St. Francis sits on 11 lush acres. We are a welcoming and diverse community.  Our members come from 10 different countries, and we speak a dozen different languages.  We are young and old, married and single, Republican and Democrat, gay and straight, married and single.  The love of God in Christ Jesus that unites us is bigger than any difference that might divide us.

 

St. Francis is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas. The Rt. Rev. David Reed is our Diocesan Bishop and the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Brooke-Davidson is our Bishop Suffragan.

​

We warmly invite you to worship with us at our Sunday or Wednesday services. Or stop by the Church office. We look forward to meeting you!

As a Christian community, the people of St. Francis gather for worship each Sunday. Our service follows a style handed down to us by centuries of Christian tradition.  Each week, we read from sacred scriptures, we meditate and reflect on those readings, we pray (for ourselves, each other, the community around us, and the world), and we share communion.
