Welcome to the Web Page for St. George Episcopal Church in The Villages, Florida. It is our sincere hope that this on-line visit will provide you with a glimpse into the life and ministry of St. George.

The Villages prides itself on being “Florida’s Friendliest Retirement Hometown.” At St. George  we feel that same pride. The best way to experience this is to join us for worship. Come on Thursday morning, Saturday evening or Sunday morning. You will be greeted by people who want you to feel like you are part of the family- God’s family.

Please consider this your invitation! Our parish community prides itself on its commitment to worship and preaching, ministry to the ill and homebound, and outreach to the community and the world. We enjoy being with one another in the presence of God. Some are life-long Episcopalians, others grew up in different faith traditions, and still others grew up without any church background at all.

We come from all different parts of the country: New York, Michigan, Alabama, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin—the list goes on and on.  What we have in common is a desire to grow in our knowledge and love of God and to enter into an ever-deepening relationship with Jesus Christ.
