St. Mary’s Episcopal Church
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church: who are they?
St. Mary's Episcopal Church has been thriving in the Napa Valley for over 150 years. In a hurting and divided world, they seek to follow Jesus on the Way of Love. Their beliefs are formed by scripture, tradition, reason and experience.
Phase I: listening
In recent years, St. Mary’s has experienced significant identity shifts between a change in long-term leadership, the pandemic, and shifting wider cultural norms. We worked with St. Mary’s to help articulate to what makes their community unique, and explore what might be in store for the future. In our listening process, we:
worked alongside a core team
organized and conducting focus groups
wrote and reviewed surveys — analyzed data and reflected back what we heard
made recommendations for next steps
