FAQs

Where can I park?

There is a parking lot behind our Parish Administration Building located on the right side of the sanctuary. If you cannot find a spot there, you can park along Ann Street. While you may see a sign that says “Do Not Park On This Side Of The Street,” don’t worry! That sign does not apply during Sunday Worship. Feel free to park on either side of the street.

What do I need to wear?

Do not stress about attire! We recognize we live in a coastal town with many visitors. So we welcome you regardless of suit/dress or golf shirt/T-shirt.

Is there a nursery for my young child?

There is a nursery! When you walk in the church's front doors, ask one of our ushers, and they will be happy to escort you to the nursery in our Parish Hall.

Are you required to kneel?

No, you are not required to kneel. You can stand during prayers or do whatever is most comfortable for you and your body.

How do I receive communion?

You can put one hand on top of the other, palms facing upward, to receive the bread. The bread is eaten immediately while you wait to drink from the cup. If you prefer, you may hold the bread and dip it in the cup before eating it. If you don’t want the wine, cross your arms over your chest after eating the bread, as a signal to the minister carrying the cup. If you do not wish to receive Communion, you are still invited to come to the altar and cross your arms over your chest to receive a blessing.

​Is there music at both services?

Music is part of the 10:45 am service on Sundays.


​Where is ‘coffee hour’, and who is invited?

Everyone is invited to the ‘coffee hour’ that follows each Sunday service. We meet in the Parish Hall, the building west of the Sanctuary.


​Is there Sunday School for children?

Yes, during the school year Sunday School is available for children preschool through grade 5 in the Parish Hall and for 6th-12th grade in the Youth Room in the Parish Administration Building. Children’s Sunday School for Preschool through 5th Grade begins at 9:30 am in the Sanctuary with music, then moves to the Parish Hall. The children join their family in the church around 11:35 am for Communion. 6th-12th grade Sunday School also begins at 9:30 am but ends at 10:30 am in time for young people to join their families in church for the service.


​Are there services for children grades 6-12?

There are no special services for 6th through 12th graders. Instead, we invite them to be fully involved in our services. This can take many forms. Young people can sit with their families during the service, be acolytes, read the lessons of the day, and even get involved in our choir.

​Who can use the playground?

Our playground is open to the public! So anytime you want to stop by, come and play on our new swings, slide down the slide, and make a joyful noise on our xylophone.

​Do you have weekday service offerings?

Yes! Tuesdays, we offer Morning Prayer at 8:30 am. On Wednesdays, we offer Noonday Eucharist, and a Lectionary Study meets immediately following that service. On Thursdays, we offer Evening Prayer at 5:30 pm. Both the Noonday Eucharist and Evening Prayer services are live streamed on our Facebook.

The Rev. Tambria (Tammy) Lee

Rector

I have served God and the church since 1984. I have been a youth director, lay associate, parish associate, and campus chaplain. I have served as Rector of Saint Paul’s since January 2019. I was raised on a small North Florida Island, which bears more than a striking resemblance to Beaufort if having had a Pouggie plant, large brown bugs, and way too much humidity are any indication. I am the granddaughter of a Methodist church musician who allowed me to sit by her side on the piano bench and would play hymns on demand. My mother was a Georgia Sweet Potato Queen and fabulous cook, and my father was a Salvage Dealer and local politician/ folk hero who collected a little bit of everything and challenged equally as much. Both prepared me for a life in the church which has never been dull! I believe Christ died to take away our sins, not our minds, that God loves us relentlessly, and that there is nothing we can say or do that will separate us from God’s grace and love.

Contact Tammy if you:

  • want to talk about that over coffee
  • have ideas for turning trash into treasures for the Harvest Bazaar
  • want to just take a walk on Front Street


The Rev. Ashley Simpson

Associate Rector for Parish Ministry

I grew up in the Episcopal Church and was recently ordained to the priesthood. I have been serving the people of St. Paul’s since June of 2022. However, this is not my first time worshipping with the wonderful people of this parish. For a brief time eight years ago, I served as the part-time Director of Youth Ministries while teaching environmental science full-time. While I am the Associate for Parish Ministry, my primary areas of oversight include children’s and youth programming. If you are curious about how to address me, you can call me Ashley, Mother Ashley, or Reverend Ashley. I answer to any name but prefer to be called Ashley.

Contact Ashley if you:

  • want to find out more about Children’s & Youth Ministries
  • want to talk about Marine Biology and our beautiful coastline (especially sharks)
  • are interested in whether or not Dolly Parton is a saint

Frequently Asked Questions

Baptism. Confirmation. Marriage. Funerals. At these extraordinary times, we celebrate them as sacraments. According to the Book of Common Prayer, sacraments are "outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace." We look forward to sharing these special sacramental moments with you.

Baptism Confirmation Marriage Funerals

At St. Paul’s, the history of our parish is important to us. When you walk into the narthex of the church, you are greeted with the pamphlets named “A Brief History of St. Paul’s.” Our history reflects how we came to be a parish in beautiful Beaufort, North Carolina, but it also continues to inform how we move and remain present in the community today. We hope you will take the time to learn a little bit more about us.

Our History

We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.
