The Episcopal Church

Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.

We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of church life. We believe that all people have a role and a purpose in God’s kingdom and very good creation.

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.


The Episcopal Church was organized shortly after the American Revolution when it separated from the Church of England. It became, in the words of the 1990 report of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Group on the Episcopate, “the first Anglican Province outside the British Isles.” Today The Episcopal Church comprises nine provinces throughout the world, including worshiping communities in Taiwan, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Europe.

The Church of the Redeemer is one of 60 parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina, led by Bishop Daniel Richards.
