Our Mission
The Church of the Holy Apostles is a community of faith in the Anglican tradition, reaching up in worship to the Lord, reaching in to bring growth and wholeness to our members, and reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ to meet the needs of our community.
Our parish mission also aligns with the priorities and initiatives of the greater church. Archbishop Beach has identified five ministry priorities for the Anglican Church in North America during his tenure. Rooted in Scripture and Christ’s ministry, the following initiatives include, Serving the Marginalized, Fostering Diversity, Partnering Globally, Planting Churches, and Developing Leaders.

The Anglican Diocese of South Carolina in global mission
Serving Christ in a secure location, some of our members of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina are in global mission. As they witness being surrounded by people in dire need; refugees from around the world, new believers who face many barriers leaving the religion they were born into, and deteriorating local economies, it's an intense mix of helplessness and awareness of our own abundance. Please pray for our eyes collectively, together as one in Christ as a church, to constantly turn to Him, and not on our own understanding. To learn more, contact us at Holy Apostles.
