The Ruby Valley Episcopal Churches consist of Christ Church, Sheridan, and St. Paul's, Virginia City. We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Montana and the worldwide Anglican Communion.

We value the use of Scripture, Tradition and Reason.

We are not bound to Tradition alone, nor do we use Scripture alone, but we use our Reason and intellect to combine the two into a faith that is both challenging and comforting.

We walk the via media, the pathway between hardline fundamentalism that is assured of correct black and white answers, and the 'anything goes' attitude of hardline liberalism.
