FAQ's

  • What is Messiah's worship style?

    We follow the Book of Common Prayer and often use the Rite II Service which is traditional in style. Many of our hymns are from the Hymnal but we like to mix it up too! Holy Communion is offered every Sunday.

  • What about children?

    Children are always welcome! We offer a Children's Program in our Upper Room where they hear Bible stories, do arts and crafts, and enjoy snacks together. The children come back down to worship to join their families for Communion.

  • Who is welcome to receive communion?

    In the Episcopal Church, all are welcome to receive communion at the Lord’s Table. This includes everyone from those searching for faith to those who are cradle Episcopalians and everyone in between.


    If you are not familar with an Episcopal service, feel free to introduce yourself to a person sitting near you and ask them to help you follow along.

  • What should I wear?

    God gives us so much; we can praise him by wearing our best. And, God knows our hearts which is what counts. Whichever is your perspective, and however you are comfortable is how you should dress. We welcome all!


    As a beach community, we like to follow in Jesus' footsteps by wearing sandals!

  • How do I get to know some people in the church?

    A great way to get to know us is to join us after worship in the Upper Room for coffee and nibbles. We'd love to get to know you, share about ourselves, and brag on our church!


    Or getting involved is another way to meet people - check out these opportunities!

  • What if I have a question about theology? or faith? or what Episcopalians believe? Who do I ask?

    You're in luck! I know a guy who loves to discuss  theology, faith & the Episcopal Church! Simply send Father John an email.


The Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina has purchased a three-acre parcel of land for us on March 17, 2025 where we will build a new church home! When you drive by, say a prayer.

What people are saying...

When we arrived at Messiah our first Sunday, I felt immediately at home. I remember turning to my husband and saying, "We found our church."

What people are saying.

It has been a real pleasure becoming part of Church of the Messiah. I have never met a more welcoming and supportive parish. The new Sunday School program is awesome, the choir does an incredible job and the people of Messiah are the best!

Cindy

What do you say?

What people are saying.

Being a singer in the Messiah Choir as long as I’ve been a member of the Church has given me (and my fellow choristers) the opportunity to share the richness of the Anglican music with others through hymns, service music and anthems. 

Our parishioners often tell us how much the music at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah means to them.

Carolyn

What people are saying.

I love Church of the Messiah and its' members as they are literally my "second family." It is so comforting to know the members are caring, thoughtful, and always ready to step in and help any way needed. I am Blessed to call so many my dear friends.

If you are looking for a warm and friendly church and searching for a Spiritual home, then Messiah is the place for you.
