The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, a member of the Diocese of Chicago, invites you to spend some time learning about our faith community, our missions and our history. Like all Anglican churches, the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration is distinguished by its standing in both Protestant and Catholic traditions, the use of a Book of Common Prayer, and the reliance on scripture, tradition, and reason in interpreting God’s Word.
Today’s church members include “cradle Episcopalians,” new churchgoers, and participants from many other religious traditions. There are several three-generation families within our Transfiguration family. Where there is diversity in points of view, parishioners are united in their desire for worship in their lives.
As members of the Church of the Transfiguration we value being an inclusive parish, with vitality in all that we do. Our members are connected in our love for Christ and in Christian Fellowship. Our members are committed to a faithful quality of worship with an emphasis on thoughtful sermons, wonderful music and liturgy centered around the Eucharist. Parishioners take an active role in the worship service, serve on committees, and respond positively to various challenges.
Transfiguration called the Reverend Nicholas Romans to join our congregation in 2012. He helped our church family to grow in joy and love for one another and to engage more deeply in the life of the church and its mission. Fr. Nicholas served Transfiguration until 2017. The Church of the Transfiguration is currently engaged in the search process for the next rector to accompany us on our faith journey, with the help of our interim rector the Rev. Dr. Julianne Buenting.
