Luther Burbank Elementary School

In 2003 Incarnation “adopted” Luther Burbank, a nearby downtown elementary school. Approximately 80% of the 330 students at Luther Burbank are in economically disadvantaged families, and about 70% are learning English as a second language.

There are many volunteer opportunities:

  • Be a classroom aide
  • Tutor after school
  • Assist with special events like the Book Faire and Harvest Fundraiser
  • Work in the Library organizing or checking out books
  • Read to children
  • Help with music programs/plays/concerts
  • Distribute food at school on Thursdays to students and their families
  • Bring other skills or experiences you may have

Parishioners can help even if not on the campus.

  • Donate school supplies, books, laptops/tablets, musical instruments
  • Raise funds for field trips and needed supplies
  • Collect “Box Tops for Education,” and bring them to Farlander Hall
  • Participate in eScrips programs at local retailers

One of our volunteers shared, “I can’t believe how eager these children are to learn … I know that I receive much more than I give.”

St. Andrew's Food Program

The food program at St. Andrew's Mission in Monte Rio has served people in the Russian River area for over ten years. It offers bags of groceries as well as hot meals on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Vigil Against Gun Violence

From Sandy Hook to Las Vegas to Parkland to Aurora, and too many other places to name, this country is plagued by an epidemic of gun violence unique among developed nations. On March 24, 2019, Incarnation held a special liturgy of prayer, lament, and a call to action, on the one-year anniversary of the March for Our Lives. Featured in the service was Murder of Innocents, a musical piece composed especially for this event by our own Beverly Kinnison and sung by the Alleluia Choir. A forum on gun violence and what we can do followed the service. Read coverage by the Press Democrat

Incarnation parishioners are active in advocacy on a number of issues including the climate crisis, housing, immigration, and more.

Welcome Getting Here Children The Service What's Next?

People decide to visit a church for lots of different reasons, often because they're at some sort of transition point in their lives. Maybe you're a longtime Episcopalian; maybe you have experience in another faith tradition; or maybe you've never been to a faith community at all.

Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you enrich us with your presence, and there's a place for you here.

Learn more about visiting Incarnation.

Incarnation is located at 550 Mendocino Avenue in downtown Santa Rosa, just south of the corner with Cherry Street.

Our church parking lot is located around the corner at 636 Cherry Street. The lot often fills up for our Sunday morning services. Additional free church parking is available in the small gravel lot at the corner of Mendocino and Cherry, or in the city garage at 521 7th Street (free on Sundays), which is a two-minute walk from the church. Finally, street parking is also free on Sundays.

We're also located close to several bus lines, and we have a bike rack in the central courtyard.

Children aren't just the church's future—they're an essential part of our faith community right now. At Incarnation we strive to serve our kids' growing faith, and we know they have much to teach adults, too. Children are always welcome in worship: any age, any time.

Learn more about our children's ministries.

Episcopal worship follows an ancient pattern that dates to the earliest days of the Christian church. The first half of the Eucharist is the Liturgy of the Word the second half is the Liturgy of the Table, also called Holy Communion. If you've spent time in Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Eastern Orthodox churches, much of our liturgy will seem familiar. If you're unfamiliar with liturgical Christian worship, don't worry. You're welcome to participate as fully as is right for you, or to just relax into the liturgy and let the rest of the congregation carry you in worship.

To stay connected with everything that's going on, please subscribe to our e-newsletter, News and Notes.

Often someone who's been visiting for a while will ask us how to become a member of Incarnation. Learn more about becoming a member.

To support our work sharing God's love here in Sonoma County, you can make a donation online.

Giving is one of the most powerful spiritual practices in existence. It's a statement of gratitude and trust in God.

At Incarnation we encourage all our members and friends to prayerfully choose a percentage of their income to give toward causes that serve God's mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to the parish, both so our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at Incarnation. For more on the practice of proportional giving, see this FAQ.
