About Us
Hi, I’m Amber Evans, the vicar of Holy Family Church, and I want to introduce you to our congregation.
We are a small but mighty church that makes a positive difference in the lives of our members and the Half Moon Bay community. We are young, old, and middle-aged. We are straight, gay, lesbian, and transgender. We are families, couples, and single people. We are neurodiverse, and we celebrate diversity of all kinds, striving to live up to our name, Holy Family, by being a welcoming and loving church for everyone.
Worship & Leadership
We are part of the Episcopal Church, and our worship reflects a casual, coastal vibe. We sing hymns, spirituals, and contemporary music. Everyone is welcome to join us, no matter where you are on your faith journey. (Learn more about Episcopal worship here.)
As vicar, I work alongside our committed lay leaders to guide our worship, ministries, and outreach. We are a church dedicated to serving our community.
Mission & Community Life
Our mission is to be a caring, inclusive community that shares the love of God in Christ. We do this by serving others, advocating for social justice, and respecting the dignity of every human being.
This Holy Family loves to be together. We gather for monthly dinners, lively events, and our annual picnic. We are also well known for our ice cream stand at the annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival! We are deeply connected to one another and would love for you to join us.
- The Rev. Amber Evans
Pastoral Care and Prayer
We care about you! You are invited to send us an email to share any concerns in your heart and let us know if you would like pastoral support. Vicar Amber is available to meet online or in the office, and is always up for coffee and lunch dates in Half Moon Bay.
