A Message from the Vestry
We are a Church in transition after saying farewell to our former Rector. While it was sad to see him depart, we have quickly become engaged in a three-phased Transition Plan.
We recently participated in a congregational survey to aid us in developing a parish profile. We have appointed a five-member Search Committee to further our profile as we begin a search for our next Rector while the Vestry selects an Interim Rector. The focus of an Interim Rector, typically, is spiritual and pastoral care. We are currently engaged in a series of workshops to discern our new ways to serve one another in a community which Christ has called us to create.
The Search Committee, with the use of the Parish Profile and the help of the diocese, will use a national search to recruit, interview and recommend clergy candidate to the Vestry.
The membership of St. Alban’s and its Vestry believe that God will help us to find a shepherd to lead us.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3: 5-6
St. Alban’s Vision Statement
St. Alban’s Church in Lexington, SC has been a witness to God’s grace since 1974. We believe that through Jesus Christ we are meant to faithfully and joyfully serve God, each other, and our neighbors.
We believe that we are being led by the Holy Spirit to become all that God calls us to be. We gladly invite others to grow with us through God’s word and sacraments.
The steadfast love of God in Christ bids us to celebrate prayer, practice, music, and learning. We are called by Jesus to love others and to bring them into this love.
In serving Christ within our parish and outside our walls we seek to actively present His presence to others. We share space with community programs and provide outreach personally and through the wider Episcopal church.
St. Alban's is an Episcopal Church which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are a Christian church, which means we believe in Jesus Christ. We also believe in the Holy Scriptures, as they are understood through reason and tradition as the living Word of God.
We are a part of the Diocese of Upper South Carolina. The Diocese is committed to renewal, to sharing the faith that has changed our lives, and to increasing diversity among our ranks. In so doing, we celebrate and affirm the broad Anglican tradition, which welcomes seekers, embraces inquiry, and offers a wide variety of worship styles grounded and unified by the liturgy in our Book of Common Prayer.
The Diocese is led by Bishop Daniel Richards. We look forward to Bishop Richards annual visits to St. Alban's. To learn more about the Diocese of Upper South Carolina and Bishop Richards, we recommend visiting their website.
