St Saviour's Church-Diocese of Kootenay Anglican Church of Canada

St. Saviours Parish is a vibrant Christian community that gathers together to worship God and to reach out in love to the world around us. We hope to share the good news of faith, hope, and love with the world and to welcome all people, regardless of race, gender, status, sexual orientation, or any other human category, into a welcoming and inclusive Christian community. We worship in the Anglican tradition, including weekly celebrations of the Eucharist(Holy Communion) and with a strong emphasis on music, prayer, and preaching. We believe that the traditions and rituals of the church offer depth to our spiritual lives and at the same time that the inspiring renewal of the Holy Spirit is constantly opening us up to new expressions of worship. We learn to grow as disciples of Jesus by exploring the wisdom of the Scriptures (the Bible), the traditions of the church, the use of reasoned reflection, and the lived experience of our members and neighbours. We seek to love others as Christ first loved us by sharing our blessings with the wider community and by seeking the well-being of all people.

St. Saviours is an open and welcoming place with a friendly community that considers itself family. Although the ups and downs of the ritual might seem confusing the first time you attend an Anglican service, visitors should feel free to participate or not as theyre comfortable. At the 10am service our entire order of service is printed in the weekly bulletin to make it easy to follow along or to join in on the prayers. Although we dont have a Sunday school at the moment, children are more than welcome to be themselves in this church. We do have a short all-ages family talk and some activity sheets and stuffed animals to keep the younger ones curious and engaged in the main church. Much of what we do happens outside the church walls. St. Saviours has a strong concern for the general welfare of this city and its people. Our deacons identify needs in the wider community and lead our communitys response. Some of these ministries include: the Free Store, Community Meal, Spiritual Care visiting at Penticton Regional Hospital and throughout the community, and supporting community organizations such as the Penticton Soupateria and the Penticton Recovery Resource Society. These ministries, which are the heartbeat of the community, are led by the deacons of the parish but are engaged in by members throughout the parish and beyond.
