A note from Bishop Wood
Dear Friends,
Some of the clearest statements in Scripture concern giving. The first murder in the Bible was rooted in God’s acceptance of Abel’s offering and His rejection of Cain’s offering. Genesis 4 tells us that Abel brought both the first and the best to the Lord while Cain brought neither. The worshipper and his/her offerings are inseparable; a reflection of their heart and what they hold most dear. We see this again and again throughout the bliblical record.

After 9 months of prayer and planning, Church of the Apostles will be launching a new church plant in Lexington, SC called All Souls Church. We will launch on September 15. Over these last few months, the Lord has gathered a team of 40 people out of both the Apostles family and the town of Lexington to help begin this new work, and we are so excited to see what the Lord will do through us as we seek to spread the good news of Jesus to all people.

We are still a very young movement. The vast majority of our congregations are first generation churches that have particular needs as well as missional opportunities in their respective communities. A congregation’s ability to acquire a permanent location and to “place a stake” in their mission field is a very critical indicator of long-term fruitfulness of the congregation, and of our diocese.

On April 22, 2018, St. Andrew’s suffered a massive fire at the Mt Pleasant location. The Ministry Center was destroyed and all of the ground floor underneath suffered massive water damage. The remainder of the buildings were relatively unscathed though there was some smoke and water damage that needed to be repaired. This page chronicles the clean up and rebuilding from the fire.
