Welcome to Gethsemane. When you visit, the first thing you might see is the red door on the Washington street entrance to our church. While multiple theories exist as to why so many churches have red doors, one of the most common is that the red door symbolizes a place of refuge and sanctuary. In an often divisive world, Gethsemane strives to be that kind of a place for all our visitors and members.

Gethsemane Episcopal Church is part of the Anglican and Episcopal family of churches in The American Church Story. 64 congregations of the Anglican and Episcopal family gather across Indiana — 5,448 across the United States on The Church Map.
Anglicans gave the English-speaking church the words it still prays in: the Book of Common Prayer, and a translation of Scripture that shaped four centuries of worship, writing, and speech. Holding evangelical, catholic, and liberal convictions inside one communion has made them a long school of patience for every tradition that came after.
