The Presbyterian Church
on Edisto Island is now in its
fourth century of worship and ministry.
We are an historic congregation - one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in the denomination, in existence at the same location of our establishment in 1685 - and yet we are as modern as this internet website.

We are a congregation of approximately
150 members situated in a burgeoning resort
area which is attracting people from all
walks of life who have lived all over the
world. Consequently, we are a cosmopolitan congregation, primarily composed of active couples enjoying retirement,
representing a variety of Presbyterian and Reformed church traditions.

We are an energetic congregation, involved in ministries of worship,  pastoral care,
fellowship, evangelism, and community service. We have developed a dental clinic
 for migrant workers in our area. We maintain a community food pantry in
cooperation with other churches on Edisto Island . We participate in cooperative
 ministries through the Edisto Island Ministerial Alliance, including housing
rehabilitation, and special worship events.  
 

Our church sanctuary
and manse (where pastors have
lived since the 18th century)
are listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.

Maintaining the historical
authenticity of these old
buildings while also equipping
and furnishing them for
continuing contemporary use
 has been an ongoing challenge
 for our congregation.
