Welcome
All are Welcome to St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church in McDonough, GA
Please join us for Sunday Worship at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM
We are an inclusive, affirming, and diverse community, where all are welcomed as children of God. No matter who you are, no matter where you are in your spiritual journey with faith, doubts, and questions, you have a home with us.
St. Joseph’s mission is to deepen our relationships with God so we can embody Christ in the world. We are a community of grace: demonstrating the transforming power of Jesus Christ as we engage in joyful and meaningful worship; grow spiritually through prayer, study and fellowship; and radiate God’s healing love to a broken world through compassionate outreach.
