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.

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.

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.

Providing crucial financial support to our parish and its ministries is a big part of how we express our commitment to this special community of faith.

This year’s pledge drive is about more than our parish budget. It is about how we are rooted in the abundance of our lives and rooted in our lives at St. Paul’s. During this time, we are all invited to examine how we are rooted.

Stewardship is our total response to the fullness of life given to us by the God in whose image and likeness we are made and remade. We believe that all that we have and all that we are …our time, our talents and our treasure is to be offered back to God, to be used in partnership with Him and His Church for the salvation of the world. This is a lifelong process that we ,as followers of Jesus, give ourselves freely too.

Children & Youth

Children and youth are not the future of the Episcopal Church. They are the Episcopal Church. In Baptism, children and youth are given full membership into the life of the Church. We believe strongly in this, and we back that up by offering a range of programming for young people of all ages.
