Who we are as a parish

Church of the Apostles is a new church in Columbia,
planted in 2004 as God stirred the hearts of a handful
of people who desired to come under the leadership
of the Anglican Mission in America. In just a few short
and busy years, God has grown Apostles into an
established, thriving parish.

Situated in downtown Columbia, Church of the Apostles
meets Sunday mornings at the SC State Museum, located at 301 Gervais Street. (Our offices are located at 1822 Bull Street, Columbia, 29201.) The State Museum affords us the ability to offer Sunday School sessions for all ages in addition to our two Eucharistic services, held in the main auditorium. Childcare is offered in the exciting Discovery Zone, complete with a lego table, bridge, walk-through model tree, and other unique opportunites for play.

As a parish, Apostles seeks to be:

Missional: proclaiming the good news of Christ in word and deed;

Liturgical: ordering our common worship and our parish activities around the liturgy;

Sacramental: recognizing the mystery of God's real presence in our midst, particularly in the weekly celebration of the Lord's Supper;

Evangelical: placing ourselves under the authority of Holy Scripture, confessing Christ as he is found therein, and acknowledging the continuing presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Every ten weeks we begin a five-week course called Apostles 101, which further describes Apostles as a parish. Please consider joining us for these courses, and feel free to call our offices (at 803.256.0545) with any questions you may have about Church of the Apostles Columbia. Of course, the best way to find out about us is to come join us on a Sunday morning; we would love to have you worshiping God with us.
