Wye Parish

About this church

Wye Parish is one Episcopal congregation with two historic worship sites on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m., alternating by month: Old Wye Church in Wye Mills typically hosts January, March, May, July, September, and November, while St. Luke’s Chapel in Queenstown typically hosts February, April, June, August, October, and December. Easter and Christmas Eve include services at both churches. Since the location changes, visitors should check the parish calendar before driving rather than rely on the directory’s Old Wye address alone.

Old Wye Church was built in 1721 to replace an earlier wooden chapel and has recently marked three centuries; St. Luke’s dates to 1841. The two sites share one vestry and one parish life. A small choir supports worship, relaxed fellowship follows Sunday services, weekly Bible study meets in the Old Wye library, and Sacred Circle gathers every other week at St. Luke’s. Community life also includes Episcopal Church Women, a large used-book ministry and sale, and an annual Christmas bazaar whose proceeds support area charities and projects. The parish office is at 14114 Old Wye Mills Road; St. Luke’s is at 7208 Main Street in Queenstown.
