We serve the Irmo/Northwest Columbia area of South Carolina. As part of the Episcopal Church (USA), we share in the heritage of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are a community of Christians guided by Scripture, tradition and reason as we seek to interpret our ancient faith in the modern world. Anglicanism has historically been characterized by liturgical forms of worship and a generous latitude of theological interpretation. Our worship services include several readings from the Bible and prayers from the Book of Common Prayer. In the sacraments, we look for outward, physical signs of inward, spiritual realities. We proclaim the ancient creeds of the church as symbols of our orthodox faith and continuity with Christians through the ages.
The Episcopal Church of St. Simon and St. Jude is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina. The Right Reverend Andrew Waldo is our bishop.
