St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church in Aiken holds two Sunday services. An early Rite I Eucharist at 7:45 a.m. is a small gathering usually held in the Mary Chapel, and a Rite II Eucharist with music follows at 10 a.m. in the main worship space and is livestreamed. Worship follows the 1979 Book of Common Prayer in a style the church describes as relaxed but reverent, mixing traditional hymns with contemporary Christian music. Printed bulletins include the full text and music, which makes the service easy to follow for newcomers. Every Sunday service is followed by fellowship in the Fellowship Hall, with a light brunch or refreshments.

The congregation is a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina and has been on Silver Bluff Road for more than thirty years. A Thursday Bible study meets at 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, and Cursillo reunion groups meet during the week. Other groups include an Altar Guild, a Daughters of the King chapter, a music team, and facilities work days. Outreach includes quarterly support for local nonprofits, volunteering with a soup kitchen, a yearly yard sale for outreach, and support for Episcopal missionaries in Ecuador. The office is open Monday through Thursday, and services are subject to change, so confirm on the website.
