Christian Formation
The Episcopal Church is said to be a three-legged stool with the legs being scripture, tradition, and reason. Reason refers to our own intelligence and experience. We don’t seek one “correct” answer; rather we’re encouraged to wonder and ask questions as we pray and learn.

“Nowhere”
(A year long initiative dealing with housing insecurity)
As a result of a congregation-wide brainstorming session and discussion held in August 2024, we have an on-going study exploring housing insecurity (i.e., homelessness).
After a successful series of presentations and discussions all through the fall, involving several guest speakers, and in conjunction with our internal discussions, we are currently planning our “next steps” with this critical topic of concern, and will be pursuing these “next steps” as we move ahead in 2025.
Our goal is to determine how we as a church can address the needs in Hartwell, Hart County, and the neighboring communities in northeast Georgia. While ultimately, we hope to determine the best approach, we as a congregation could take, we also invite all interested community members to offer their expertise, their talents, and their voice in this endeavor.
Please check back on the website for further information and details.
