Welcome
Since the fall of 1988 when Sea Island was chartered as a new church development of the Charleston Atlantic Presbytery (Presbyterian Church USA, she has welcomed visitors and guests, friends and neighbors, seekers and “nones” (a new category of folks who do not identify with any one faith tradition) in the spirit that all of us are God’s children, and whether we realize it or not, a significant portion of life is devoted to searching for a place we can call our spiritual home.
Sea Island is not a perfect community of faith, but it is a church family of “ragamuffins” always ready to give thanks for the past, celebrate the present and embrace the future in the context of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.

Wee Kirk Night
Wednesday, June 15, 5:30 to 7:00 pm
Grab your newspaper and your Bible as we sit down for “Soup & Sandwich Session” beginning at 5:00 pm. (Bring your own sandwich.) Last Wednesday, nearly twenty of us gathered around the table, broke bread and talked about issues close to our hearts using insights and guidance provided by the Psalms. This is not an exercise in academics, but more of a plunge into practical theology and how the Bible continues to speak to critical issues of the day. You are welcome to join us.

Children’s Church is available for children ages 4 thru 11 and offered at both services. Lessons are provided that parallel the liturgical seasons of the year enabling our children to grow and mature in the Christian faith.
