We’re In This Together
We are a lay-led congregation. Lay people (non-ordained members of the church) assume significant roles and responsibilities within the church structure. We covenant to discern God’s call together so that decisions reflect our mission while using spirit-led insight and practical wisdom from across the congregation. Ministry teams are charged with specific areas of parish life and are empowered to make the day-to-day decisions. Based on our varied God-given and acquired skills, we come together as one, embodying servant leadership, inspired by Christ's example of humility and service.

The Episcopal Hierarchy

How the Church is Structured
The Episcopal Church is structured on a three-tiered system: national, diocesan, and local (parish). At the national level, the General Convention (composed of the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies) meets every three years to address major issues. Dioceses, led by a diocesan bishop, are the middle level, and local parishes, overseen by a rector, are the smallest units. At the Church of the Resurrection, Roslyn, the parish is led by the Bishop’s Warden and the Bishop of the Spokane Diocese serves as priest for our church.
