Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church

Just south of Northwest Highway off of Douglas Avenue, Saint Michael and All Angels is all about people—people who care for one another. People who learn and share experiences together. People who believe that we can make a differences in our community—around the world—and in our individual lives. We are a vibrant Episcopal Church started in 1945 in a Boy Scout hut located on the grounds of the University Park YMCA. Several months later, on the Feast Day of Saint Michael and All Angels, the group, which by then had become several hundred persons, executed the charter and formed Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. Today our community is one of the largest in the country, seeking to help those around us in need, and deepening our personal faith in a pursuit of Jesus Christ.
