Welcome to St. Michael's
Episcopal Church
As part of the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington, we are part of a family of over 35 worshipping communities throughout Eastern Kentucky. Many of our fellow Kentuckians have been devastated by historic flooding in Appalachia. We at St. Michael's seek to offer help, relief, and care to our neighbors in need.
How can we help?
How can we help?
- Donate Money - St. Timothy's Episcopal Outreach Center is coordinating these efforts on behalf of the diocese. Financial donations to flood relief are needed for building materials, cleaning items, and other household and personal care items those who've lost so much as they find a way forward. You can give through the giving portal at https://onrealm.org/diolex/-/give/now or by texting “Diolex” to 73256 and choosing St. Timothy’s as the recipient. You may also donate through St. Michael's, designated flood relief on your gift.
- Offer Help - We need volunteers to help with flood cleanup and recovery in Estill and Lee counties. As more donations for flood relief are given, we are able to purchase more materials to repair and rebuild homes. Most work involves standing and some light to medium lifting and construction (cutting insulation, tearing out old sheetrock and wood, etc.). If you are willing to give some time, please fill out our Flood Relief Mission Team form. We hope to send small teams (4-5 people) up once a month for as long as needed. We welcome anyone who would like to help.
- Share Love - We continue to pray for all who have been impacted by flooding and winter storms in Eastern Kentucky. Share ways we can help with friends and neighbors. If you're able to volunteer, listen to their stories and be present with them. Too often, after a disaster is no longer in the news, it fades from our memories while the victims continue to struggle.
Worship with Us
We are regularly worshipping online. Each Sunday morning, the video service is available by 10:00 am. The printed service bulletin is emailed on Fridays and is also available under the Worship in Time of Coronavirus tab on our website. Our services are available online at our YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to here.
We continue our ministry of love in action at St. Michael's, as well. We are supporting God's Pantry, feeding those who are hungry in our community, especially students. We are studying together - our Zoom groups gather weekly. We are joining other faith communities to forgive medical debt in Appalachia in the Commonwealth Forgiveness Project. If you are interested in participating in our ministries, please subscribe to our online newsletter.
Our church building is also open for prayer Mondays through Fridays for those who would like to come sit in holy space and pray. We ask all who do to wear a mask and honor physical distancing while in the church building. The building may be closed to communal worship, but the Church is open - it is in each home, each person who believes hope, life, and love win, and each sacrifice we all make to ensure the health and safety of our neighbors. We as the people of St. Michael's continue to be the church as we stay healthy at home until we gather again. Stop by Mondays through Fridays 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, when the Church Office is open.

About Us
St. Michael’s was built on the “holy hill” of southeast Lexington in 1955. Today we worship and serve in a thriving neighborhood that includes the Arboretum, Trader Joe’s, Landsdowne Center and the venerable Lexington restaurant, Ramsey’s.
While location, location, location is important in real estate, we know people are always more important, especially when it comes to church. Our congregants range from founding members to Lexington newcomers; life-long Episcopalians and people new to Christianity; singles, married, and partnered; babies and active seniors. Together, we gather to worship, laugh, grieve, pray, celebrate, and serve both God and neighbor.
You'll find out a lot about us by exploring this website and even more by joining us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
You can keep up with what's happening at St. Michael's by subscribing to our weekly e-newsletter.

We believe God accepts people of every race, culture, age, ability, gender, sexual identity, educational level, and economic status . . . and so do we.
