We are an inclusive, loving Christian Community of faith located in the village of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Our faith is grounded in the rich Episcopal tradition of sacramental worship and ministry.
In 2022, the Holy Nativity Vestry asked the congregation to dedicate six months of prayer and discussion to ascertain the Holy Spirit’s answers to the following questions:
Who are we? What do we believe is important? What dreams do we have for our future?
Five themes emerged from these collective discussions:
Spirituality and Worship ∙ Inreach ∙ Outreach ∙ Personnel/People ∙ Physical Property
These themes continue to guide our congregation, helping us remain a place of tremendous growth and vitality, and empowering us to more fully live out our Mission:
“To Know Christ and Make Christ Known.”
