We're so glad you are here!

Wherever you are in life; there is a place for you here at St. Michael's.

Love all.  Love always.  That's our logo and that's what we live;  all means all.

No matter where you on life's journey, we invite you to walk with us.


Maybe you have driven by and wondered what's inside that big, beautiful wood building. Maybe you are tired of all the negativity, fear and hate in the world. Maybe you have a heart for social justice. Maybe you've been hurt by churches before or it's just been a long time since you've been in a church. Maybe you think Christians are hypocritical. Maybe..... 

Just maybe one of these might sound familiar. If so, know that the beauty of St. Michaels's is not just in the building itself; it's that all are welcome and feel at home! Our worship is centered on relevant sermons that speak to your life and music that uplifts. We offer six spiritual pathways that offer many entry points for all interests.  Our doors are open. Come, walk with us!

Ministries

you will not be embarrassed

When you visit St. Michael's, you will be welcomed with a smile and simple greeting. You will not be singled out, nor asked to stand before the congregation and introduce yourself. You will worship God with us. Should you wish to know more about St. Michaels’s or the Episcopal Church, the clergy, greeters, and members will gladly answer your questions.

your children will be welcomed

Your entire family is welcome. All members of your family, regardless of age, may participate in the service. We encourage children to participate in church with their parents.  We also have a monthly Messy Church just for families to experience God in new ways.

when you enter our church...

Greeters will welcome you and provide you with a booklet called a bulletin that will assist you in following along with the service. It lists the songs, page numbers and special prayers that will be used during the service.


The Sacraments of communion, baptism, marriage, anointing of the sick and celebration of life are available to all.

to give thanks

A celebration of the Holy Eucharist, which means “thanksgiving” in Greek is a time when we gather to give thanks for what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. It is also known as Holy Communion, because in it we commune with God and also with each other as the Body of Christ.  All are welcome to receive communion at the table of the Lord.


It can be a little intimidating walking into a church for the first time.
Here are some FAQ's that might answer a few questions you have:


FAQ'S

  • 1. What time are the Services?

    The Saturday service is held year round at 5pm.  The Sunday service from May-October is at 9:30am.  From November-April Sunday services are at 8:00am and 10:30am. 

  • 2. How long is a typical service/sermon?

    The Saturday 5pm service does not have as much music and lasts about 45 minutes. The early Sunday service runs about 55 minutes and the later service with the choir runs about 70 minutes.  


    The sermon averages about 8-10 minutes! As Fr. Bill often says, you don't have to try and say everything in one sermon! 

  • 3. What about my kids/grandkids?

    Children are always welcome to worship with your family.  We have red welcome bags filled with activities that can be picked up at the red back entrance doors on a coat rack.  Children of any age are welcome to receive communion. 

  • 4.How should I dress?

    We are an island church so we dress island style; casual and comfortable.  You might see a few people in dresses and maybe a suit jacket here and there but the vast majority of people wear casual Florida attire.  

  • 5. Are newcomers recognized at the service?

    Don't worry we don't make guests stand up!  You are more than welcome to simply come, worship, and sneak out afterwards.   Most people wear nametags and if you'd like to make one, we have them at the back of church but you don't have to.  If you would like more information about St. Michael's, you can fill out a Connect Card in the pews and hand it to an usher or put it in the collection plate when it passes by.  Stop into the parish hall after every Saturday or Sunday service for informal social hours with treats and beverages.  

  • 6. Can I receive communion?

    All are welcome at the Table of the Lord!  No matter the age or denomination, you can come up to the altar to receive the bread and wine if you choose. If you would prefer to receive a blessing from a priest, you can simply cross your arms over your chest at the communion rail.  Gluten free wafers are available for those that need them. 

  • 7. What is I can't walk up the aisle?

    Simply let the usher know as you enter church and they will alert the clergy to bring communion right to where you are seated.  They do this at every service.  

  • 8. What happens when I walk in the door?

    When you enter through our doors, you can expect to be greeted by people who are glad to meet you. No matter your age, race, gender, orientation, faith background, or political views, we invite you to join our community and share God's abundant grace.
