The Big Red Door Episcopal Churches

Emmanuel, St. Andrew's, and St. Matthew's Episcopal Churches are three parishes in Chenango County that work together furthering the Kingdom of God. While each parish has a strong presence in its own community, we share ministry, worship, and fellowship.

We are rural, and we are urban. We are small, and we are big. And we welcome everyone. Each parish offers their own flavor to share in programs and services. All of us are eager to welcome you and to listen to your story.

And we believe this: Whatever brings you to experience worship with us, welcome. If you've come searching for a Christian community that manages to be both joyful and reverent, welcome. If you're hoping to find a church that is grounded in tradition but engaged in the present and open to the future, welcome. If you've been looking for a place where your doubts and questions can be as at home as your hopes and certainties, welcome. If you've been wondering whether there's a place for you at all in the Christian church, you are welcome. You really are.
