Welcome

The Peace of the Lord be always with you!

Any time our church gathers for worship in our tradition, as in many others, there is a moment of ‘Passing the Peace.’ To the outside observer, this looks like an intermission in the middle of the service for neighbors to greet one another. The deeper truth at work in ‘Passing the Peace,’ comes from the earliest Church’s understanding that Jesus Christ’s very own dignity was present in every human life. So that, in greeting others, even strangers, we are in fact welcoming the presence of Christ among us.

In that Spirit, we welcome you, too! Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, and whatever else it is that you seek in a Church community, it is our sincere hope that you find God’s gracious welcome with us at St. Paul’s. In so many ways, we do not all look alike, think alike, or even act alike here. But in one thing we are certain that we are all the same: God graciously welcomes us all. In a world that is increasingly interested in exploiting our differences, it is that welcome that gives us hope. So we hope you find it with us here, too. Welcome to St. Paul’s!

- Andrew

A Rich and Colorful History

St. Paul's Church, Greenville, has a vibrant, colorful history, with origins dating from the mid-18th century colonial period. The people of what became Pitt County received occasional services of the Church of England from the Rev. Alexander Stewart, rector of the Parish of St. Thomas, Bath, in Beaufort County, out of which Pitt County and St. Michael's Parish were formed in 176…

The Rev'd Andrew Cannan

Rector

Andrew appreciates the diversity of the journeys that bring people to find a home at St. Paul's. He was baptized a Methodist, majored in religious studies at a Baptist university, married a Presbyterian, received a Master of Divinity as a Devil (the blue, basketball-crazed variety), and was ordained in a congregationalist church prior to finding his way as an Episcopal priest. "I was drawn to this strange Church that accepted the messiness of life and embraced it with grace and dignity. That sounded like a place where I could learn to live with God. That and I was always wanted to dress like Johny Cash.” In their downtime, Andrew and his wife, Ashley, enjoy East Carolina evenings in the backyard with their sons. On days off, he likely won’t be found fishing a remote section of the Eastern Pamlico that he is reluctant to disclose.

The Rev'd Skip Walker

Associate Rector

Skip has been serving as Associate Rector at St. Pauls since 2020. He is a graduate of Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music and is currently a Doctoral student at Sewanee School of Theology. In addition to serving at St. Pauls, Skip is also an accomplished Jazz musician. You can read more about Skip at his website.

Welcome Life Events/Sacraments Our Leadership The Episcopal Church

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, and whatever else it is that you seek in a Church community, it is our sincere hope that you find God’s gracious welcome with us at St. Paul’s. In so many ways, we do not all look alike, think alike, or even act alike here. But in one thing we are certain that we are all the same: God graciously welcomes us all.

A Word of Welcome Visitor Card Parking What to Expect

In the Episcopal Church we acknowledge that God is present in every occasion of our lives. Some of these we mark together with special celebrations of worship to highlight the ways in which God is always at work throughout the events of our lives. As Episcopalians, we believe that these observations reveal God's grace to us in new ways.

Baptism Confirmation & Reception Marriage Burial

As Episcopalians, we believe that all baptized people are called to minister in the Church. Everyone has a different role. Our clergy serve as the spiritual leaders of our congregation, our staff is responsible for overseeing our program ministries and day-to-day responsibilities, and our vestry is responsible for parish decision-making.

Meet Our Leadership

We as Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St. Paul's is part of the Episcopal Church, a church that is both rich with ancient tradition and relevant to life in the 21st century. We believe that God loves you - no exceptions.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the whole world.

Our parish's motto is this: "To Know Christ and to Make Him Known."

Give Online Why Give Annual Commitment

"Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work."

- 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Give Now

As Christians, we acknowledge that what God has generously offered us is nothing short of life through Jesus Christ. Participating in that life means learning to generously offer our lives. Each time we gather we are presented with the opportunity to support others in recognition of God’s offerings. This support takes shape in many forms with financial gifts being the backbone that builds our church community and generates opportunities to offer our lives in our parish. All are encouraged to participate in giving money for the ministries of our parish as a sign of our share in God’s work among us and through us.

Annual commitments pledged to St. Paul’s support our operating budget, which directly supports worship, formation, community and global outreach, building and grounds, staff and other programs. Annual commitments are crucial to the work of St. Paul’s. We strive to maintain a balanced budget each year, with every dollar accounted for and put to good use in the people, places and plans of our parish.
