Pastoral Care | St. Paul's Beaufort

Pastoral Care in its most simple terms, includes the ways in which we all, not just the priests of the parish, minister to one another. Below, you will see some descriptions of our Pastoral Care groups that look after the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our members.

Altar Guild

Altar Guild is a ministry of St. Paul's and works behind the scenes. We care for the vestments, linens and vessels by washing, ironing and polishing. Altar Guild switches out the hangings to the liturgical color for the season.

Daughters of the King

The Daughters of the King is an order for women who are communicants of the churches in the Anglican Communion or in the historic Episcopate. It was founded in 1885 and adheres to the Anglican tradition of faith and worship.

Flower Guild

The Flower Guild is an extension of our Altar Guild. After services on Sunday, members of the Altar Guild will deliver the altar flowers to those in the parish that may be celebrating a major life milestone or may need some extra joy in their homes.

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.
