It all began 190 years

ago…Samuel Sitgreaves and other Eastoniansformed an Episcopal congregation.

From the beginning our congregation has

touched both Easton and people around theglobe.

We continue the tradition of worship,education, service and mission begun in 1819.

Our space is our greatest single materialasset; with it we serve people of all ages andfrom all over the area.

With these projects, we will do more than fix a

wall, we will prepare ourselves for ministry
