God driven. Community focused. Come grow with us. All are welcome.
Thank you for stopping by!
We are members of The Episcopal Church of the Diocese of California and part of the Anglican Communion, a body of churches around the world who trace their ancestry through the Church of England. Anglican simply means "of England."
We are one congregation, stewarding two sanctuaries, a vibrant Preschool and a Vicarage. In this season of restricted in-person worship, we congregate and worship primarily, online. Please follow all the links here and below to join us for worship and fellowship.

MEET YOUR NEW VICAR
Allow me to introduce myself. When I’m being formal (which isn’t too often, frankly) I am The Rev. David Grant Smith. But most of the time, I’m very comfortable being called “David” when spoken to, because I believe that the highest honor we can give each other as Christians is to address each other by the names given to us in Baptism. If you feel that you simply must address me with a title, you may do so, but please only do that with my first name, rather than my last name. I am really looking forward to coming to SEA Church to be your Vicar. This will be a new adventure for me, as I’ve never been a Vicar before. But I have had a lot of experience working in smaller churches throughout my adult life in many contexts and settings. One of the things that excites me about being in a small church setting is the fact that smaller Churches often are what I call “ministry forward” churches where there tend to be many more “handson” opportunities for ministry. And SEA Episcopal Church certainly fits that. I have much to learn from all of you, and I’m sure that we all have much that we can look forward to learning together! Even though I’m moving to you from the Los Angeles area, I was ordained in the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester (New York). And even though I was in that Diocese for a very long time, I am originally from Michigan where I was born, grew up, and became Episcopalian as a young graduate student in East Lansing. Having spent so much of my life near large bodies of water like the Great Lakes and the Finger Lakes, I’m excited to be moving to an area that is between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. I love living near the water! The reason that I’ve been in Southern California these past few years is because I’ve been working on a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degree at Claremont School of Theology, focusing my studies on process theology (a contemporary theology) as a resource for parish ministry and pastoral care. During my studies, I have also been trained as an Internal Family Systems (IFS) counselor and am in the process of working toward certification as an IFS Practitioner. Since being the Vicar of SEA Church is a -time position, the other of my time I hope to be devoting to doing spiritual counseling using this model. In addition to my love for theology, preaching, liturgy, teaching, and pastoral care, I have many other interests. I enjoy travel, singing, chamber music, writing, tea, wine, spoiling my nephews and nieces, and spending quality time with family and friends. I also used to play French horn, and have been missing it lately, so I may want to get it out again once I’m settled. And getting settled is going to be my top priority. I very much want to become settled into a new chapter in our life together as Vicar and Congregation. Until then, peace and blessings be with you, in you, and among you.
Thank you for joining in Worship & Fellowship
