Join us every Sunday at 5 p.m. for our Electric Mass with modern lighting, dynamic presentations, and high-energy contemporary Christian music from Hillsong, Bethel Music, and other great worship songs. 
Everything we do is built on our mission “to help each other find our way in Christ." To do that, we
  • CONNECT people with one another;
  • Lead them into deeper PRAYER;
  • Help them HEAL from life’s wounds;
  • Encourage them to GROW in their faith; and
  • Inspire them to serve and share their faith through the LOVE of Christ.
​
​We call these five goals of our church, Connect, Pray, Heal, Grow and Love. If you're lost at sea, find your way with us. Our journey together is guided by our yearly parish theme and current message series described below. Come with us on the voyage.

​Join the crew of our cozy community and find warmth and acceptance among the loving people of Saint Brendan Church.
