Hailey, Emmanuel Episcopal Church

This wiki documents Emmanuel Episcopal Church, an inclusive and vibrant parish located in the heart of Hailey, Idaho, and a member congregation of the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho. The parish is led by Bishop Jos Tharakan and guided locally by the Rev. Rob Gieselmann, with a lay leadership team including Senior Warden Martha Burke and Treasurer Rebecca Spadaro. Sunday worship is held at 9:30 a.m. and follows the Book of Common Prayer, offering Holy Eucharist or Morning Worship with music and printed bulletins for all in attendance.

Emmanuel's identity is grounded in radical welcome — the community embraces everyone regardless of background, blending traditional Episcopal liturgy with contemporary reflection. Beyond Sunday worship, the parish sustains active ministries including the Emmanuel Episcopal Thrift Shop, which operates on Saturdays and directs proceeds to charitable causes, and a robust stewardship program. The 2026 stewardship campaign, themed "Walking in Love," calls parishioners to share time, talent, and treasure in support of the parish family and the wider Hailey community.

The pages collected here draw from the church's official website, including the homepage, leadership directory, visitor guide, giving page, about page, and thrift shop page. Together they provide a comprehensive reference for anyone seeking to understand Emmanuel's ministries, leadership, worship life, and community presence. The wiki has been updated through multiple ingests spanning 2024 through 2026, reflecting an ongoing commitment to keeping parish information current.
