Contact UsHoly Rood Episcopal Church is an Episcopal congregation serving Inwood, New Jersey. Rooted in Scripture, tradition, and reason, this church offers beautiful liturgical worship and an inclusive community of faith.
Our Faith
We are guided by the "three-legged stool" of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. The Bible is primary; the Church's tradition and human reason illuminate its meaning for each generation.
We affirm the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed as faithful summaries of the Christian faith. They unite us with Christians across centuries and denominations.
We celebrate Baptism and the Eucharist as the two sacraments ordained by Christ. The Lord's Supper is the central act of Anglican worship — we are fed by Christ's body and blood.
Our worship is shaped by the Book of Common Prayer — a treasury of Scripture, prayer, and liturgy that forms us in the faith and unites Anglicans worldwide.
We stand as a "middle way" — holding together Catholic order, evangelical faith, and Reformed theology. We welcome all to the table of grace in a spirit of generous orthodoxy.
Visiting Our Parish
Free parking is generally available on-site or on nearby streets. Arriving 10 to 15 minutes early gives you time to find a spot and get settled.
Children are welcome in worship, and many Episcopal churches offer Sunday school, a nursery, or children's chapel. Wiggles and noise are understood and embraced.
First-time visitors are warmly welcomed. The service follows the Book of Common Prayer, and ushers or greeters can help you follow along — there's no pressure to participate in anything before you're ready. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Communion.
The church strives to be accessible to all, typically with wheelchair-accessible entrances and seating. Contact the parish office ahead of your visit for any specific accommodations.
Most Episcopal congregations gather for coffee hour and fellowship after the service — a relaxed way to meet members and ask questions.
