St Michael's Episcopal Church

About this church

St Michael's Episcopal Church gathers at 4000 South Lee's Summit Road in Independence. All-ages education begins Sunday at 9 a.m., followed by Holy Eucharist at 10; a smaller midweek Eucharist meets Wednesday at 5 p.m. Worship uses the Book of Common Prayer or a service booklet and includes congregational singing, prayer, ancient creeds, and Communion every week. The parish belongs to the Diocese of West Missouri, the Episcopal Church, and the worldwide Anglican Communion. It welcomes people with lifelong Episcopal backgrounds, experience in other denominations, or no formal church history around a mission of worship, healing, hope, and service.

Childcare is available from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Infants and preschoolers may remain with professional staff throughout worship, while children in kindergarten through third grade share stories, games, crafts, and snacks during the first half of the service, then rejoin their families for Eucharist. This arrangement lets children receive age-specific formation without missing the central sacramental gathering. Beyond worship, a Free Little Library on the northeast corner of the grounds offers books for varied ages and interests as a neighborhood outreach. Current service resources are posted online, making the worship page especially useful for checking seasonal liturgies before a first visit.
