    Welcome!
            Welcome to St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church's home on the web.  We are a church committed to loving God and loving our neighbor.  We do this through ministry to each other, to the community around us, and by welcoming the stranger in our midst. 
            If you are looking for a church home, looking for a safe harbor from the storms of life, or anywhere in between, we invite you to visit with us. It will be our privilege to get to know you and to discover how we may journey together.  If your journey takes you elsewhere, may you find joy and peace always.

    About Us ...   
           
      The mission of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church is to know Christ as Savior and Lord and to make Him known to others through worship in our Anglican tradition and through programs of servant ministry. 
             
            We are a local church in a missionary diocese dispersed in 48 congregations throughout the diocesan area, and led by the Bishop, The Rt. Reverend John C. Bauerschmidt, with the cathedral and diocesan offices in Nashville.  Furthering the missionary enterprise, local clergy lead the congregations' worship and encourage members' missionary and ministry activities.
         
      This commitment to mission and ministry is Biblical, obedient to Jesus Christ's Great Commission:  "...to go... make disciples.... baptize... and teach..." (Matt. 28),  conducted according to Jesus' Great Command-ment: "... to love..." (Mark 12:30).  Thus our fundamental reason for being is to love God and to do the work of God's love in the world around us.
           As members of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States of America, and therefore of the worldwide Anglican Communion, Episcopal Christians affirm these four identifying characteristics:
                   ~ The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments contain all things 
                       necessary to salvation, the rule and ultimate standard of faith.
                   ~ The Apostles' and Nicene creeds are sufficient statements of the Christian
                      Faith.
                   ~ The two Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself - Baptism and the Holy 
                      Communion are central to Christian life and worship.
                   ~ The Historic Episcopate, bishops in succession from the Apostles, assures
                      continuity of essential Christian Faith and practice through time.
          
         
    Dificulties, disageements and conflicts have arisen throughout church history, and exist today, threatening the unity of the Church. As in previous centuries, today's Episcopal Christians recognize that the basis of our unity is God, in our common worship, see the Book of Common Prayer, through Jesus Christ, not in human political consensus.
