Connect With Something Bigger Than Yourself

In today’s fast-paced, swipe-right, double-tap world, it’s easy to feel disconnected. Amidst the buzz and blur of our digital lives, the timeless traditions of a Sunday service might seem like relics of a bygone era, especially to those less inclined towards the pews of old. 

  • Worship that speaks to your life: Tradition meets your world in a fresh, real way.

  • Find a community that gets you: Connect with people who are on the same journey.

  • Explore faith without pressure: Grow at your own pace with messages that matter to you.

Rooted in History. Growing in Grace.

Asbury-St. James traces its roots to 1795 with the founding of St. James Methodist Church.

 

The current sanctuary on Rutledge Avenue was built in 1935 and has served generations of Charlestonians. In 1968, the church became St. James United Methodist Church and later merged with Asbury Methodist to form the welcoming community known today as Asbury-St. James UMC.
