What visitors say

On October 11, 2025, I walked into St. Alban’s feeling a little overwhelmed... the kind of nerves that come with any wedding morning, even when everything has been planned beautifully. From the moment we arrived to the venue something shifted. The calm, the care, the warmth in that space made it feel like the Holy Spirit truly stepped in and carried us through the day. Rev. Adam Dawkins and his team made the entire planning process incredibly easy, even from afar while we live in Bozeman, Montana. Every detail was handled with intention, kindness, and professionalism, so when our wedding day arrived, everything came together seamlessly. Vendors arrived, photos were taken, the space was transformed and it all unfolded with such grace that it felt nothing short of a gift. Being able to be married in a church as a gay couple was deeply meaningful to us. From our very first visit, St. Alban’s has made us feel safe, welcomed, and celebrated. When we’re in Los Angeles, we attend Sunday services and community events whenever we can, and every time we walk through those doors we feel at home. To be married there, surrounded by that love and acceptance, was something we will carry with us forever. The music alone made the day unforgettable. Ray was incredible, thoughtfully curating music that fit the spirit and emotion of our ceremony perfectly. And Virginia’s voice, truly breathtaking, had so many of us in tears. It was one of those moments you don’t just hear, you feel. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team who made our day so special: A. on the admin side who kept everything organized leading up to the wedding, Adam McCrory for his warmth and hospitality, Alfons for his thoughtful assistance throughout the day, Adam Hartsock for his kind words and support, and again Rev. Adam a true gift to not only us but this church, the connections he brought along with amazing life advice and guidance will stay with us for all of time. We again cannot thank you enough. Everyone treated our wedding with care, respect, and genuine joy. If you are looking for a place to celebrate your marriage, we truly could not recommend St. Alban’s enough. The church itself is beautiful, and the outdoor patio in the evening was magical. From start to finish, our experience was loving, seamless, and filled with grace. St. Alban’s wasn’t just our wedding venue, it was a blessing, and now a place we can return to that feels like home. 💛 — Gunner & Alex My first time attending the 10 AM Sunday Service at St Alban's Episcopal Church. -I can say it was one of the most touching and memorable Masses I had attended through the years. -First and foremost One feels valued by the Parishioners who greet u as though u are a regular. -What impressed me even moreso is the sincere heartfelt welcoming of : The Reverend Adam L. Dawkins!!👍 -I hyke in that area and i always stop briefly to say a short prayer in the courtyard of the Church at the statue Of Mary and Jesus , as well when passing by the stained glass of Jesus's refection outside the Chapel. -Always Reverend Dawkins approaches to greet me with a smile as well as the Pastors and attendees. -I got curious and felt drawn to the cozy little Chapel so intimate I decided to attend 2 or more Sunday Masses thus far. -But on July 27th I attended Mass for the first time in the church -My mind was blown! -So touching! It was SUPERB! The Choir felt like Mozart musique to the ears. Heavenly! -The church architecture so tasteful! Soothing calming colors. Let Alone The Reverends Sermons ! That of Reverend Adam Dawkins and Reverend Joshua Paget's Both . -I really encourage you to try and attend Mass there regardless of religion and/or beliefs, you will feel the sincere warm welcome By all. -Thank you Reverend Dawkins for ur Presence there , for ur welcoming open arms and for your wonderful gracious attitude to all. -Thank you Reverend Paget as much! -Thank you Pastors and parishioners! You make me feel valued and welcome even when am just passing by .. -Thank you lovely Heavenly Music Choir , it was truly amazing . As Christmas approaches, I am reminded of the beautiful Christmas Eve service at midnight that St Alban’s held. This year it is unfortunate that many places of worship will be closed due to the pandemic. I always felt a warmth here. The choir is spectacular. The Christmas decor beautiful and the mass is uplifting and really symbolizes the love of Christ. It is a place of members, friends and visitors. I hope that many who are alone this year and also struggling can find the Light and Hope. Merry Christmas! Really beautiful and pretty progressive church. I have seen several friends here perform and have come for Christmas and easter services. Beautiful building, very welcoming and friendly parishioners. Our family has come here a number of times and always felt right at home. Love the acoustics and music I love this place! I found St. Alban's while I was a student at UCLA. The people here were friendly and welcoming. I got involved with the campus ministry and a book study group. Years later, well after graduating, this place is still my home. If you're not familiar with the Episcopal Church, here are a few details about who we are: Inclusion: all are welcome as you are. Tradition: the services are simple, but have deep roots going back millennia. Reason: scripture and tradition are held with reason and are informed by our growing understanding.
