St Paul's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is an Anglican congregation in Waldorf, Maryland, shaped by Holy Communion, service, mercy, justice, and reconciliation. Its regular program-year schedule offers two distinct expressions of Episcopal worship: an intimate Rite I liturgy using traditional Elizabethan language and a larger Rite II service mixing contemporary and traditional hymns. Children are treated as participants rather than distractions. Activity bags and children’s bulletins are available, young people help read Scripture and serve as acolytes, and Children’s Chapel gives ages four through ten a developmentally appropriate experience during portions of selected late services. Community and worship ministries offer pathways into greeting, altar preparation, neighborhood service, music, and liturgical leadership.

Through September 6, the parish follows a summer schedule with one intergenerational Rite II Eucharist at 9:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship. Beginning September 13, the 8:00 a.m. Rite I and 10:15 a.m. Rite II services resume; the later service is livestreamed and normally lasts sixty-five to seventy minutes. The church is at 4535 Piney Church Road. This seasonal change matters for planning an August or early-September visit, and Children’s Chapel also pauses for summer. Newcomers can review the current bulletin online and expect Holy Communion at each principal Sunday service.
