We are Holy Spirit Episcopal Church. Join our community in worship and fellowship.
Who We Are
Holy Spirit Episcopal Church is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of California, headquartered in San Francisco. We are all members of the national Episcopal Church denomination which itself is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion, the 3rd largest Christian community in the world, behind the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.
At Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, we support at-risk teenagers in schools from our local area, hunger outreach programs, LGBTQI+ concerns and assist members of our own community in times of need. If you would like to help in our various ministries, any amount is appreciated. Contributions are tax deductible. Thank you.
Holy Spirit Episcopal Church is an outgrowth of two faith communities established in the mid 20th Century, St. John's, Clayton, est. 1962, and St. Michael and All Angels, Concord, est. 1947. You will notice both names from time to time in our materials as we reference our histories.

Our Principles
We are an inclusive community of committed Christians who seek to serve God in our daily life and share fellowship as we gather to worship each week.
Faith is more than what happens on Sunday mornings. It's a part of who we are, inside and out. At Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, we believe in sharing the joy of the Gospels daily, and living a life that embodies the spirit of Christ.
Exploring Faith and Spirituality
The Episcopal Church
The mission of The Episcopal Church, as stated in the Book of Common Prayer’s catechism, is “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ.” In step with that mission, we follow Jesus into loving, liberating, and life-giving relationships with God, with each other, and with the earth.
Diocese of California
The Episcopal Church in the Bay Area serves a diverse community of faith encompassing the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Approximately 18,000 baptized people form 72 congregations, which are organized into six deaneries (a geographical group of congregations). The Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and Southern Alameda deaneries cover their respective counties; the Peninsula Deanery consists of all of San Mateo County and a small portion of Santa Clara County.

A recommendation from one or our young adults:
The only church I could ever step foot in without feeling like I'll burst in to flames.....You won't feel judged, you won't feel that you're wrong for being who you are. You will be welcome exactly as you are. If you are looking to build a relationship with God, or you don't know what you are looking for, Holy Spirit may be a good place to start
