Description & Services

Information We welcome you to worship with us on Sunday mornings at 11:00 at our beautiful and historic church at the corner of Main and Church streets in the heart of Parrsboro. From January until Easter, we worship next door at St. George's Hall. The Hall has a full kitchen and also is used for church suppers, bazaars, fundraisers, and community events such as the Parrsboro Farmers' Market. It provides a home for our community Food Bank and is available to groups and individuals for rentals. Three other churches are part of our parish: Holy Trinity in Fox River, St. Mark's in Moose River, and Christ Church in West Bay. We share ministry with All Saints Church in Springhill. As a welcoming Christian community, we also offer opportunities for Bible study and spiritual development.
