SOULS SAVED
LIVES CHANGING.
About Our Church
Our church continues the Anglican traditions of worship, prayer and outreach to our community. As well we have evolved to a more diverse, inclusive congregation that welcomes parishioners of various faiths, cultural backgrounds and ethnic origins. Their work backgrounds also range from teachers to ranchers and law enforcement to farmers. A number of people in our congregation are also part-time parishioners at the church and return to another part of the country they also call home. But it is our love of God and our faith that unites us all.
OUR BELIEF
DO NOT DELETE - PLACEHOLDER FOR FIRST COLLAPSE
DO NOT DELETE ME!
Who is Christ?
We believe that Christ entered the world and lived the perfect life none of us could live. He gave that life on the cross on our behalf so we could be forgiven for all of our failure. His goodness is transferred to us because he gave his life and rose again, so that we could be right with God.
What is the greatest commandments?
Christ Jesus provided us with the two most important commandments: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all you soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Great Commission
Christ Jesus also left us with his well-known Great Commission. The mission of the church is to reach out to nonbelievers and develop them, along with existing believers, into committed followers of Christ. This is the mission that the church is intended to accomplish.
What is Faith?
Faith is to have complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith can also be a strong belief in God. What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? The bible tells us that faith is the assurance of things hoped for, but not seen. Placing our full trust in God and having faith that His plan is best may bring comfort and peace to weary souls.
Outward Sign
Our outward sign of these inward beliefs is in the worship of our Parish family together. We gather together and listen to His teachings through the Word and offer prayers for our Parish family and the World. We then are nourished at the His table and are sent out into the World, nourished and refreshed to share these beliefs. Our worship also connects us to each other as the family of God.

The Rev. Kay Mueller
Rector
I was born and raised in Nashville, TN…..hence the accent! Over the years, I have lived in Knoxville TN, Dallas TX, Philadelphia PA, Vero Beach FL and various areas within 40 miles of Okeechobee before settling into my current beach condo in Ft. Pierce. I am widowed (since 2003)with 2 children (a son and daughter), 3 stepdaughters, and a total of 10 grands, step-grands/great grands, with the boys outnumbering the girls 8-2, in addition to my precious Miss Elly – a rescue/rehome miniature schnauzer!
I have a B.S. in Management, along with certification in several extensive management and personal skills courses, and I am currently a “hybrid distance student” at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin, pursuing my Masters in Ministry. The majority of my secular career included 23 years with Peterbilt Motors Company, a division of PACCAR, where I served in various executive management positions including National Customer Service Manager and Region Manager/Northeast Region.
I heard God’s call to ministry in 2013 and was ordained a Deacon in the Diocese of Central Florida on 9/9/2017 in the midst of Hurricane Irma. The call to the priesthood began in 2019 and I officially began the journey in September 2020 and was made a postulant for Holy Orders to the Priesthood in April 2021. I was appointed Interim Pastor-in-Charge at Church of Our Saviour effective May 28, 2021. I was ordained and installed as Rector on October 9, 2022.
My heart’s desire is to glorify God and minister to His people as we collectively share the Good News of Christ! My personal Mission Statement is: “One day at a time, working in unity to glorify God and loving one another, as Jesus loves us!”
