St Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church in the Lakewood Ranch area of Bradenton celebrates Sunday services at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. The early service is identified as Holy Eucharist Rite I, giving visitors a traditional-language option; the church publishes the Sunday lineup and sermons on its official site. Its mission is expressed as “catch, grow, and go”: helping people encounter faith in Jesus, mature within the church community, and carry that faith into the world. The congregation welcomes people to experience worship and the transforming grace of Christ.

The parish describes itself as one body made up of people with varied gifts and interests. Mission and outreach are organized locally, globally, and through youth participation, with a community organization highlighted each month for volunteer or donation support. The church’s roots in the area date to the 1990s: land was purchased in 1996, the first service was held that December in a Disabled American Veterans hall, and the Manasota mission church and property were dedicated in January 1998. Visitors seeking an Episcopal congregation with two morning Eucharists and visible community partnerships can start at 11315 Palmbrush Trail. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; verify feast-day schedules separately.
