Rector's Welcome
A warm welcome to you from The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection! We are
happy for the chance to introduce you to our community of faith, located in the
Lake Hills and Crossroads neighborhood of Bellevue, WA.
Our community is part of the Episcopal Church. Our walk in faith is shaped by the
beauty and fellowship found in weekly worship, sharing our experiences of God, and
serving in a wide variety of ministries.
We encourage you to come and experience Christ's love here - whether in prayer and
worship, fellowship events, study and conversation, or active ministry in our local
community. If you are a seeker looking for a place to ask questions and try out
life in community, you are welcome here. We invite you to come listen, explore,
learn and celebrate with us - who are fellow seekers - and to take part as you feel
called to do. We hope you will experience the presence and love of Christ through
each person you meet here.
Our door is open to all. We look forward to meeting you!
Rev. Edith Weller, Rector
