Who We Are (and Why You’re Welcome Here)
We are a progressive, LGBTQ+-inclusive Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor. Church of the Incarnation is committed to love in action, honest faith, and a community where your whole self is welcome.
Incarnation is a radically welcoming congregation. People of all ages, races, economic backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, family structures, and spiritual & faith backgrounds are embraced here. We have been LGBTQ+ affirming since our founding in 1984. In 1994, our co-Pastor became the first openly lesbian Episcopal priest to be ordained in the state of Michigan.

Children are welcome in worship. We offer a child-friendly space, called the "Prayground" at the front of the sanctuary. The Prayground is supported by our Youth Leader staff member, along with adult volunteers. There, children ages ~3-12 engage in activities and are active participants in the service.
A few children serve in our all-ages choir. Recently three of our young members planned and led a Sunday service.
We also have a large outdoor plaground, expansive grounds, and paths through our woods to explore.
