Welcome to St. Saviour’s Parish. God offers love and grace to all persons; God calls us to be a community which embodies love, grace, and justice for all people as a sign of God's reconciling love. Whatever our age, gender, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, economic condition, physical or mental gifts, this community of faith invites us to become full participants as together we seek God and the fullness of life with one another. St. Saviour's Parish is an Episcopal Church committed to reverent public worship, an understanding of the Christian Faith, the spiritual renewal of our lives and the expression of our faith through community service. "Saint Saviour" refers to Jesus Christ, our "Holy Saviour." Another way to say the same title is "Holy Redeemer" which is the name of the Roman Catholic Church across the street. St. Saviour’s identifies itself as an “open
church.” By this we mean that all persons, wherever they are in the spiritual
journey, are welcome to come and be a part of this community. We seek to be a
safe place for skeptics and agnostics as well as for believers. We are an
inclusive church in which people from many backgrounds have found common
ground. We are a diverse community which has discovered in God a oneness
greater in significance than our differences. We have come to know that our
variety, in truth, reflects the divine comprehensiveness of the God of all
created things. People come to church for a variety of reasons. We assume
that because you come, in some way – subtle or profound – the Spirit of God
drew you here. The communion meal of Christ’s presence among us in the form
of bread and wine is offered to anyone who comes with a sincere heart to
receive it. The Maine Council of
Churches is a proud member of MaineShare.
