Frequently asked questions

What do you believe?

As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.

We believe God loves you — no exceptions.

The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell of and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.

When are your worship services?

Wednesdays at Noon – Holy Eucharist

Mondays and Fridays at 8:30 a.m. – Morning Prayer on Zoom

Who can receive communion?

EVERYONE! No one is turned away from the communion table. This is God’s table and all people are welcomed to it (including children). If you don’t want to receive communion, that’s fine, too. You may come forward in the communion line to receive a quiet blessing or you may remain at your seat.

Are children welcome?

YES! Children are always welcome to be in the service with their parents or caregivers. You will find a quiet play area with activities, toys, and books to keep little ones happy in the worship space.

During the school year, children are invited to our Godly Play area where they engage in a Montessori-based program that includes a Bible story and related activities to strengthen their own understanding of God. Children rejoin the worship service in time to enjoy Holy Communion with their families.

Do you welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community?

YES! When we say everyone is welcome, we mean everyone — no exceptions.

What happens during the worship service?

Our traditional services include scripture readings, music, prayers, a sermon, an offering, and Holy Communion. You’ll receive a printed worship bulletin that will guide you through the service. The entire service lasts approximately one hour.

After the worship service, you are invited to enjoy a time of fellowship with coffee and snacks in our community room. It’s a great way to meet people and learn more about the church.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code at St. Francis. Anything from your Sunday best to jeans, shorts and sandals are welcome. Dress however you feel comfortable.

Where are you located and where do I park?

Our address is 602 Rockwood Arbor Drive in Eureka, Missouri. We have a large parking lot on the east side of our building. If that lot is full, you are welcome to park parallel to the curbs marked with GREEN within the lot, or along Rockwood Arbor Drive.
