St. Michael's Episcopal Church
St. Michael’s Church is a warm, casual and friendly place. We like new songs as well as old, and written prayers as well as prayers made up on the spot.
Our worship is based on the Book of Common Prayer, a rich resource of faith going back almost five hundred years. But we’re certainly not stuffy about it. And we want everyone to feel right at home singing, praying, serving and learning alongside us.
So you won’t have multiple books to juggle, or have to wonder when to sit, stand or kneel. Just join in however it makes the most sense to you, and we will be the richer for it.
Getting Here & Parking
St. Michael’s is very easy to find! We are on Lee’s Summit Road, immediately north of the interchange at Interstate 70. We are also easily accessible by bus from most of Independence and parts of Eastern Kansas City, MO.
Our parking lot is on site, and close to our front doors. Our entire property is also fully accessible to those with limited mobility.
Children
Children are welcome to join in every aspect of worship, or take advantage of our Children’s Ministry.
Infants & Toddlers are invited to play with our vetted and enthusiastic caregivers in the Nursery adjacent to our worship space. You can see your little ones from your seat, and join them or retrieve them at any time. The Nursery is open and staffed from 8:45 till 11:30, allowing parents the freedom to attend the adult formation class at 9:00 am in the Library, and even to grab some refreshments during Coffee Hour at 11:15 before reuniting with their children.
Children are welcome to join in every aspect of worship, or take advantage of our Children’s Ministry.
Grade-Schoolers (Kindergarten – 3rd Grade) are invited to join in our Children’s Ministry, from 10:00-10:45 in the rooms off the Parish Hall, at the opposite end of the building. The time begins with a faith-based activity, in the Activity Room on the left. Around 10:20, the teacher guides the children into the adjacent Children’s Chapel, for a brief lesson and age-appropriate prayer time. After this, there is free time until parents come to bring their kids into the Nave for the Eucharist. Children’s Ministry is led and supervised by two vetted adults at all times.
