Cathedral Church of St. Luke & St. Paul

About this church

The Cathedral Church of St. Luke and St. Paul worships Sunday mornings in downtown Charleston at 8:00 and 10:30. The early service is quiet and contemplative, uses the traditional language of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, and is available in person only. At 10:30, the atmosphere is livelier, the liturgy comes from the 2019 Prayer Book, and folk and choral music share the service; this gathering is also livestreamed. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early for coffee and remain afterward for conversation.

The Cathedral understands Anglican identity through ancient liturgy, the sacraments, historic episcopal leadership, the Nicene Creed, and the Book of Common Prayer. Its parish life connects worship with hospitality, household discipleship, pastoral care, service, generosity, and mission in workplaces and neighborhoods. Dedicated staff oversee children, families, and middle- and high-school students, including nursery and children’s formation during Sunday services. The two-service contrast is particularly helpful for newcomers: choose 8:00 for stillness and older liturgical language, or 10:30 for a fuller musical setting, family programming, and online access.
