Blessings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I hope that you will find time to join us for worship and fellowship whenever you are in the Point Pleasant area.

St. Mary’s is an open, loving and affirming community of believers who strive to live out the mandate of the good news of Jesus Christ; loving God and loving our neighbor. Central to our worship life is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ, expressed in the rich Anglo-Catholic tradition. Experiencing the transformative power of God in Word and Sacrament, we each hope to become agents of transformation in the world. We are a diverse community of believers with many different faith backgrounds and levels of spirituality.

Seeking to celebrate the richness of the Episcopal tradition, we use the Rite 1 form of the Holy Eucharist at our 8 am service on Sundays, and Rite 2 at our festive Holy Eucharist at 10 am on Sundays, and 7:15 am on Tuesdays. At St. Mary’s we believe that we are fed and nourished by the sacraments, in order that we may do the much needed work of ministry in our community and the world.

It is on this note that I invite you to join us in experiencing God’s love and abundant grace at St. Mary’s. Come just as you are, whoever you are, and wherever you are on your faith journey. We hope you will find whatever you are looking for at St. Mary’s. Opportunities for ministries abound, you only have to speak to me or one of the many lay leaders at St. Mary’s.

May God’s peace and blessing abide with you today and always!
