Church description

At Saint Michael and All Angels, we believe that people are drawn to the parish for the same reasons our founders sought to establish the church more than 70 years ago: to worship God, to receive the sacraments and to grow in their faith, as well as develop the faith of their children and grandchildren.

They come to be comforted and to receive hope, in a world where it is often lacking. They come to be a part of something larger than themselves where they can serve and make a difference. They come to explore and develop their faith while engaging their God-given mind. Finally, they come to find community with supportive Christian friends who are loyal companions, who stand by them in sorrow and in joy and who spur them on in spiritual growth.

There is a sense of community and belonging at SMAA. The people who attend will often find themselves engaged with one another outside of the church, whether it's in community involvement, in business, school functions or even vacationing together. There is a sense that the relationships formed at the church carry over into all of life.
