Welcome to St. Michael's
Episcopal Church
Sustaining Member Campaign
For thus says our God: Only when Babylon’s seventy years are completed will I visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For surely I know the plans I have for you, says God, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me, says God, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. (Jeremiah 29:10-14)
The past 21 months have been a profound experience of the ancient pattern of exile and return home. The Covid-19 pandemic has been a season of separation like no other we’ve ever known. As we look ahead to St. Michael’s next chapter, we may never appreciate the power of gathering together in person more than we do right now. We are together in the beauty of worship and prayer, both in person and online, gathering in new ways in the midst of a world full of distance. We are together in music, singing together in the midst of a world full of silence and loneliness. We are together in community, working together in the midst of a world full of broken systems and broken hearts and being with each other in love and hope.
In short, if the world is full of exile, St. Michael’s is a community of hope and home - a place to come home to, again and again. We come together in person and virtually to worship, to pray, to love and to serve. We are part of God’s ancient promise to give a future with hope to all in need.

We are so thankful that we are able to offer worship in-person and online. We ask all worshippers to wear a mask indoors, as not all of our congregation has been fully vaccinated yet, and we want to keep those who are particularly vulnerable as safe as possible. We also offer online worship, as well. Our 10:30 Sunday service is live-streamed via our Facebook Page and YouTube and available on demand via YouTube Channel afterwards. The printed service bulletin is emailed on Fridays via This Weekend at St. Michael's (you can subscribe here). Our services are available online at our YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to here.

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.

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