Our mission is to represent the Body of Christ to the members, visitors, and the community through living, caring, and expressing concern for others in word and action through the sacraments, prayer, and teaching of the Holy Scriptures, and by providing a gathering place for worship and mutual support for the exercise of the ministries of each member within the church and the world.

From its beginning, our church has had a close association with The Saint Francis Academy, a social service ministry of the National Episcopal Church, which was founded in 1945 by Fr. Bob Mize, an Episcopal priest who later became bishop. We have continued this association into the present, and for the past four years have specifically given support to the Saint Francis ministries that are dedicated to the prevention of gangs in Salina and the surrounding area. Both of our priests-in-charge are at Saint Francis during the week. Fr. Ed is the President, Dean, and C.E.O., and Mother Sheila is the Chaplain for Church Relations.

In August 2005, when the Saint Francis Mississippi facilities were evacuated to Kansas after Hurricane Katrina, The Church of the Incarnation was the church home of the boys and staff from Pascagoula. We enjoyed having them worship and attend Sunday School each week with us. Mother Sheila also visited them weekly at their campus for Christian Education and trained them as acolytes for The Incarnation. When they returned to Mississippi just before Christmas, we had a farewell brunch and traded memory banners with them. Since then, we have learned that several of them have continued acolyting in the Episcopal Church in Pascagoula.

During the Katrina evacuation, several of our members also aided a former "Saint Francis boy" and his fiancée from New Orleans with household items and transportation.

Several of our members work daily in social service, in early childhood education and care, as foster parents, in drug and alcohol programs, in a variety of ministries to the elderly, in hospice care, and in health care professions and services. Our congregation has a practice of being supportive of these individual ministries in a variety of ways.

We also participate in the local food pantries and in supporting the Salina Rescue Mission, in Episcopal Relief and Development ministries, in the Diocesan Mission to Uganda, and in the Episcopal Church Women's United Thank Offering. We have, in addition, recently become an Episcopal ONE Congregation in support of the Millennium Development Goals. (See Christian Education Link)
