Welcome to the new world of HOCO where diversity is engaged intentionally, worship is wonderfully empowering and the spiritual journey is enthusiastically embraced; a Christian community that embraces the sacred mysteries of life revealed in the Gospel, in the Sacraments and in each other.


We are an appreciative, inclusive congregation working to make a better world for ourselves, our community, and the world through prayer, Christian formation, fellowship, outreach and especially our vibrant music. Whether your interest in a faith-based community is new or long held if you are looking for one that cares you’ve found a home.


Scroll through the website and you will discover that a great deal goes on in God’s name at HOCO. Whatever your passion you will find a place to express it amongst us. We’ll love you along the way. Consider joining us as we each discover and create our own unique path to a deeper spiritual experience together.

With every Blessing,

-- The Rector, Wardens and Vestry.
