St. Simon Peter Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Simon Peter Episcopal Church in Pell City gathers for worship on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in the nave, with a second, shorter service on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in the chapel. The main service centers on Holy Eucharist and follows the Book of Common Prayer, with hymns, choral anthems and a pipe organ. Visitors are given a detailed service leaflet, and participation is optional: standing, kneeling and crossing oneself are all treated as personal choices. The Wednesday service is informal and spoken, and usually includes prayers for healing and anointing with oil. The parish belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and the wider Anglican Communion, and describes itself as the only Episcopal church in St. Clair County.

Children can attend a nursery and Sunday school during the morning service, and Vacation Bible School and other activities run through the year. Adults have Sunday school, Bible and book studies, Education for Ministry, Episcopal Church Women, Daughters of the King and Cursillo groups. Outreach includes a food pantry, a Blessing Box, a Free Little Library, Room in the Inn and a Canterbury Club for Snead State Community College students. Services are streamed live online, and the church is at 3702 Mays Bend Road. Confirm current times on the church website before visiting.
