HISTORY

St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church began with 10-15 faithful worshipers meeting at the Holiday Inn on Navarre Beach in 1984. In 1985 the Diocese arranged with Church of the Redeemer, Mobile, Alabama to acquire their excess doublewide building to be set up on the land. The land was anonymously donated for the prospective church. In 1986 the church attendance had grown to 29 people and by 1987, at the annual diocesan convention, St. Augustine’s was accepted as a Mission Station.

MISSION
​​​

At St. Augustine's our mission is to restore all people to unity with God and one another in Christ. This is the place where you find peace and acceptance.

 

Grounded in Scripture, tradition and reason, we seek to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, and serve the world in compassion and justice.

​

We welcome everyone with dignity and love.   

 

ALL ARE WELCOME

​​"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed , God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."  John 3:16-17 
PRESENT DAY
​

The St. Augustine congregation of today is on a journey toward God's purpose. We value one another's unique spiritual gifts, talents, and resources. Through our walk with the Lord, we are able to give generously and share in the blessing of God's grace and mercy. 

 

In October of 2025 St. Augustine hosted the ordination of its current Rector,

Rev. Mark Waddell.
