Beliefs
We are an Episcopal church in the Diocese of Texas, part of The Episcopal Church of the United States, and the Worldwide Anglican Communion.
Episcopalians are people of the book. We highly value Scripture and everything we do is rooted in it, shaped by reason and the Tradition of the Church for the past 2,000 years. Our central text is The Book of Common Prayer, which is vibrant and rich collection of prayers, forms of worship called liturgies, and rubrics for keeping the rhythms of a life devoted to Jesus Christ. Most of the prayerbook comes directly from Scripture, weaving verses together into harmonious expressions of prayerful faithfulness to our Lord.
Whether you come from a high church Roman Catholic background, a nondenominational church that met in a strip mall, or no church at all, you’ll find a point of connection in this rich and multi-faceted expression of Christian Faith.

Core Values
At Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, we are committed to following wherever God is directing us. In the Season after Pentecost 2018, our Leadership Team prayerfully considered the governing principles that we would measure every future opportunity against. These are our Core Values.
