Visiting to a new church can be a little nerve-wracking. Here are a few FAQs just in case it helps.


  • What do you believe?

    People here believe a lot of different things and come from a lot of different walks for life. Some people grew up in church, others are brand new. The Episcopal Church tries to be a "broad tent" in terms of beliefs, but generally our core beliefs can be found in the ancient creeds of the Church (Nicene and Apostle's).

  • What is Sunday worship like?

    We have a traditional style of worship, but that by no way means we're stuffy! At St. A's you can expect a warm welcome with plenty of happy, qwerky people. It's a casual atmosphere, so please just come as you are.


    The worship service lasts about an hour and we have coffee and snacks right afterward.

  • Are you inclusive?

    We try our hardest to be, because we recognize that the broader church has been pretty unwelcoming to a lot of different groups. At St. A's we celebrate difference as a gift - that God's creation is diverse, and is better for it.


    No matter who you love, how you look, or what you believe...you'll find welcome here.

  • Are you involved in the community?

    Yes! Both on the URI campus and beyond. We take seriously Jesus' command to love our neighbor and to work for peace and justice. And if you think of a new way of doing that - just let us know!

  • Can I speak with the pastor about something?

    Absolutely! Drake, our priest, loves to help however he can. If you'd like to speak with him you can email (vicar@staugustineuri.org) or call the office to make an appointment (401-783-2153).
