St. Paul's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown Chattanooga offers two Sunday Eucharists with different textures. The 8:00 a.m. Rite I service is spoken, contemplative, and uses traditional language; the 10:30 a.m. Rite II service is sung with choir and organ in more contemporary language. Formation for children, youth, and adults meets at 9:15 a.m. from September through May, while summer brings a separate casual and creative worship offering. Brief weekday Eucharists are held Monday through Friday at 12:05 p.m.

Families may keep children in worship or use the staffed nursery for ages six weeks through three years. The nursery asks parents to sign in and note allergies or food concerns, and people working with children complete safeguarding training. Older students in grades six through twelve can train as acolytes for the 10:30 service. Visitors should choose a liturgical style before arriving, come early for nursery directions, and review the seasonal schedule so summer programming is not confused with the school-year formation hour.
