“The Episcopal Church Welcomes You” is a familiar phrase you’ll see on signs leading you to any Episcopal Church.
Saint David’s is no different. Come as you are, in whatever state of spirit ― you are welcome. Baptized or not, Christ-follower or not, believer or not (!), Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever, dog lover or cat lover ― you are welcome.
Focused on growing deeper in the knowledge and love of the Divine, Saint David’s receives anyone anywhere on their spiritual journey. Like Jesus shared dinner alike with social outcasts and persons at the commanding posts of first-century culture, Saint David’s always sets an extra place at the table in the hope of welcoming new faces.
You are invited to take a seat and share your story.
To become a member, the following questions and answers may help you decide about joining:
I’ve never belonged to any church before. How do I become a member of St. David’s?
You must be baptized to become a member of any Episcopal Church, including St. David’s. If you have never been baptized, please contact one of the clergy at (615) 352-0293 or send an email to make the necessary arrangements.
I’ve been baptized in a church other than an Episcopal Church. How do I become a member of St. David’s?
Call one of the clergy at (615) 352-0293 or send an email. You do not need to be baptized again. After we receive a record of your baptism from your former congregation, you will be able to participate in all programs and ministries. You will not be eligible to serve the parish in an elected position (on the Vestry or in a diocesan office) until you are confirmed.
If I am a member of another Episcopal Church, how do I become a member of St. David’s?
If you belong to a church in the greater Metropolitan Nashville area, simply call the priest or parish office of your former congregation and request an official Letter of Transfer to St. David’s. If your former congregation is out of town, call one of the clergy at (615) 352-0293 or send an email, and we will request your Letter of Transfer for you.
