We are a friendly, growing and dynamic Christian community rooted in the Anglican tradition located in beautiful Summerville, South Carolina. What’s important is not so much our denominational affiliation, but that we are seeking to follow Jesus Christ with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength as we surrender our lives to His will and purposes daily. Our identity is not so much bound up in the history of our church, or in the denomination we are a part of, but rather, in our connection with the person of Christ and his transforming and renewing work in our lives. We believe that God is not an abstract concept, but a personal and living reality who has revealed himself to humanity though the life and work of Jesus Christ and who desires to connect with each of us in meaningful and relevant ways.

We offer several distinct worship services for people on various places in their spiritual journey.

First, for those who have grown up in the Anglican or Episcopal worship tradition and who perhaps appreciate a more traditional or contemplative approach to worship, we offer our Sunday services at 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. in the historic church.

Second, for those who desire something a bit more upbeat, we offer several lively, contemporary services that joyfully celebrate the character and goodness of God. For instance, our large Sunday at 9:00 service meets in Doar Hall and successfully blends contemporary praise songs with traditional hymns. At the more contemporary worship offerings at St. Paul’s, people coming from other church backgrounds usually feel right at home pretty quickly.

Third, we believe church is not just about connecting with the “already convinced,” but also with those who are skeptical about God, or who are seeking answers to the ultimate questions of life.

(Please see our list of services and times to see which ones may be most appropriate for where you are on your spiritual journey!)
