Mark the Day.
Begin Again.
Ash Wednesday is a pause button for the soul.
Join us for a quiet, meaningful Ash Wednesday service that centers forgiveness, honesty, and renewal at the beginning of Lent.
This is a moment to pause, reflect, and reset. Come as you are, receive the ashes, and hear a clear reminder that grace meets us right where we stand—sending you forward grounded, forgiven, and ready to begin again.
All are welcome!
Rooted in
Charleston’s History. Alive with Purpose Today.
Asbury–St. James has been part of Charleston’s story since 1795.
From our sanctuary on Rutledge Avenue—built in 1935—we’ve welcomed generations seeking truth, hope, and community. In 1968, two congregations became one. Today, we carry that spirit forward in a way that still meets the moment.
This isn’t just old brick and stained glass. It’s a living church with deep roots and open doors.
Unplug. Breathe. Belong.
Forget algorithms. For one hour, ditch the scroll and step into something real. We’re talking music, meaning, and people who actually remember your name.
Bible Study in Charleston
Serving families and neighbors from Westside, Cannonborough, and beyond.
Join us Sundays at 10 AM in the Family Life Center at Asbury–St. James. This isn’t a lecture—it’s a space where everyday questions meet timeless truth. We explore the Bible together, share stories, and walk away with something to hold onto during the week.
Whether you're new to faith or grew up in it, you’ll find a seat and a voice here.
Engage Deeply
Talk through questions that actually matter—with people who listen.
Grow Spiritually
Experience the Bible as something living, not just read aloud.
