Church of the Holy Innocents
Share a story
Holy Innocents Church is a member of the Anglican Communion. We are a warm, active and diverse congregation and welcome anyone who wishes to worship with us. Our Sunday service is at 10:00 AM and at 9:30 during the summer months between July 1 and Labor Day. Our church school is held during the first part of the morning service. Children come upstairs to participate in the offering of the sacrament.
Church of the Holy Innocents or CHI as we like to call ourselves, is a loving community of people who represent a microcosm of the world’s diversity including all ages, races, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, professions, sexual orientation, families, single individuals and people with a wide range of interests and abilities. As we gather for coffee hour after each service, the sense of warmth and fellowship among all parishioners delights visitors and has caused more than a few to remark on the unusually welcoming community at CHI.
The idyllic setting and picturesque appearance of the church has led CHI to be featured in two movies. Gracie, a drama about soccer, was filmed in 2007 and is loosely based on the childhood experiences of Elisabeth Shue who starred in the film. Six Degrees of Separation, filmed in 1993 won Stockard Channing a nomination for Best Actress at the Academy Awards.
