Facilities & Culture

St Georges is a suburban church, you may have seen it along highway 81/Greenville Street. It is near T.L. Hanna high school. It is just a few blocks from the soon-to-be-opened “cross town” by-pass. We serve the northern part of the city of Anderson and neighboring communities in Anderson, Greenville and Pickens counties.

Most of our members live in the area; many are new to Anderson and like the open environment without having concerns about how to “fit in” to the status quo of some socially structured congregations. Everyone is accepted and welcomed with open arms. There is no caste system.

Our Church building is comfortable and well lit.  Adult Sunday school usually meets here. We have lots of room to hold more folks.

 

St George’s house has the nursery, Youth Christian, education rooms, church offices, meeting rooms with a large dining room for fellowship and fun events. It is the center where we have fun together.


We are a family that worships together, has fun together and serves the community together.  Our church began in 1987.  We met in the downtown YMCA (now demolished) until our present building was completed the following year.

A pervasive theme in Fr. David Bridgforth’s sermons is that we are the hands of Jesus in the world. St. George’s members have a big impact on the community as volunteers.  Our diverse congregation includes nurses, doctors, business managers, hospital auxiliary members, teachers, a free clinic helper, a rape counselor and mentors to disadvantaged children….. and a lot of folks like you.

Newcomers are welcomed at worship and discussion by the greeter’s ministry.   Members invite people they meet to attend our church. For example, recently a member invited her nurse at the hospital while she was a patient.


The friendliest bunch of folks you’ll ever want to meet…we felt so welcomed from the very first visit and now we are proud to call St. George’s our church home.

Our family…a home away from home.

A dedicated group of people who want to share the love of Jesus Christ.


I came from a denomination where guilt was freely distributed. Here we leave church on Sunday with a feeling that our soul is refreshed. It is so good to continually hear that the bible is for us to understand what happened in the past and not as a book of rules that must be followed. The lessons in life that you get from the sermons are a blessing to take with you as you go through the weeks and months after the service The Episcopalian philosophy of flexibility in understanding the interpretation of the bible’s ancient lessons is refreshing. This is a church that does not seek its unity in like- mindedness which can lead to small-mindedness.

After experiencing the worship service and the friendliness of everyone, I knew I was home.
