It may sound a bit predictable but the center of our congregational life at St. Giles is our Sunday morning worship service. If you come to Sunday worship (10:30 AM) here’s what you’ll experience . . . a warm welcome, an engaged congregation that expresses their love for Jesus Christ through heartfelt and responsive worship, guitars and blue jeans (rather than an organ and suits), a relevant sermon grounded in Scripture and filled with practical life application, and an opportunity to receive personal prayer. If you give us your contact information we’ll follow up with you to welcome you once again, answer any questions, and invite you to our pastor’s home to meet others and make some friends.
At St. Giles we have a network of "parish" groups which are spread throughout the greater Charlotte metro region. From Waxhaw to Fort Mill, Matthews to Montclaire, we have the city covered with a small group you can be a part of. To learn more email Pastor Tim Carey.
Sunday School matters at St. Giles. Not only do we provide a robust program for kids of all ages and youth, we have a number of adult Sunday School classes you can join. In addition to occasional topical classes, we offer ongoing classes targeting Bible Study, Young Families, and Families of Teens. Classes meet on the St. Giles campus at 9:30 AM and run to 10:15 AM. To learn more email Pastor Tim Carey.
Our Current Schedule:
Adult Class - Meeting in the "large room" in the Fellowship Hall.
Young Families - Meeting in the Corner Classroom in the Fellowship Hall.
Families of Teens - Meeting in the "Gathering Space" of the gym foyer.
In addition to Parish Groups which meet in various sections - or "parishes" of the city - we have a number "Affinity Groups". Affinity Groups are also small groups, but are built around a particular interest or season in life. Currently we offer Affinity Groups as follows:
