A Message from our Pastor

Welcome to Epworth United Methodist Church of James Island! We hope you will allow us to share with you the many blessings we receive from God and one another as we work in and around the James Island community to make disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. That’s ambitious, isn’t it, but that’s exactly what we are called to do.

We encourage you to join one of our discipleship groups, a Sunday school class, women or men’s group, or thematic Bible study.  We also invite you to participate in one of our ministry teams: nurture, outreach or witness. We take seriously the “priesthood of all believers” (I Peter 2:4-5), and with only part-time professional staff, including the pastor, every member is important to the ministry of Epworth. We look forward to helping you find your place in the ministries of our church: children, youth, and adults!

Please don’t hesitate to contact the church office if you have any questions (epworthoffice1540@gmail.com or 843-795-3722).

Blessings,

Vivia Lawton Fowler, Pastor

What We Believe 

As United Methodists, we share beliefs with millions of other United Methodists around the world. We believe that God has been revealed to us as creator, redeemer, and comforter, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We worship together regularly and observe two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion. We believe that our faith is informed by the Bible, Christian tradition, personal experience, and reason.
