Our Approach
Our Congregation
We are a diverse group. We are children, parents, and grandparents. We go to school, work, and are retired. We grew up in the Church, we are new to the Church. We have always worshiped in the Episcopal Chruch, we have been Roman Catholic, Baptist, skeptical, and had no active faith at all. We still ask a lot of questions and challenge one another. But we all have a lot of fun together. We pray, work, laugh, sing, and support each other the best that we can.
Our Story
In 1929, the Church of the Messiah Church was dedicated and began worshipping and serving the Avalon Park and neighboring communities. In 1979, the Church of the Messiah merged with St. Bartholomew Church, who had been worshiping and serving in Englewood since 1957. For the over 40 years we have been united together in prayer, love, laughter, and service.
