The Episcopal Church of the Messiah

About this church

The Episcopal Church of the Messiah is a Myrtle Beach parish describing itself as vibrant, intentionally inclusive, and rooted in traditional liturgical worship. Its community life joins the Book of Common Prayer, Holy Communion, sacred music, children’s formation, study, fellowship, and service. The congregation’s welcome extends across backgrounds and perspectives, with an emphasis on worshiping together while making room for each person’s faith journey.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. in the chapel, normally using the Rite II service from the Book of Common Prayer, and streams live on Facebook. Dress ranges from a person’s best clothes to beach sandals; the church explicitly invites guests to wear what is comfortable. Children meet in the Upper Room before worship for age-appropriate activities and return to the church in time to receive Communion with their families. The Messiah Choir rehearses traditional sacred music Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Public pages do not specify service length, parking, accessibility, nursery care, children’s ages, check-in or secure pickup, volunteer screening, youth programming, Communion eligibility for visitors, or livestream delay. The site’s child page says children return for Communion but does not clarify whether they must be baptized or otherwise prepared to receive.
