St. Augustine's Episcopal Church
AI Summary
Founded in 1927 as the city’s first Episcopal congregation dedicated to serving Black parishioners, St. Augustine’s has grown into a multicultural parish approaching its centennial while retaining deep ties to local history and justice work. Sunday worship at 9:00 AM centers on the Holy Eucharist, includes Scripture, sermon, prayers and The Peace, and features a distinctive musical blend of the 1982 Hymnal, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and “Joyous Jazz” (led by pianist Paul Brechue with woodwind and percussion accompaniment); services are streamed live on YouTube and archived for replay. After worship the congregation shares a fellowship breakfast and weekly Bible study, and members engage in hands‑on ministries such as the Benison Farm community garden, a “Socks for Street People” outreach, the Community Remembrance Project/Pinellas Remembers, and international support for a child nutrition program in Haiti. Father Rob Crow, Priest‑in‑Charge since May 1, 2024, brings an MDiv from Sewanee and an MBA and a background in healthcare leadership, and he and his wife Ann are active in parish life.
