All are welcome here.
Located in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, the history of St. Francis Church has its beginnings in the 1830's when Bishop Levi Silliman Ives of the Diocese of Western North Carolina began sending itinerant missionaries into the "wilderness" of western North Carolina.
No matter who you are, where you come from, or where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
We invite you to discover our parish. Take a look at our programs and ministries and get to know the members of the Staff and Vestry. Take a virtual tour or schedule a guided visit with us! We hope to see you soon. May the peace of the Lord be always with you †

On May 23rd, Bishop José sent out the following video, reminding us that while we do have the legal right to go back to church, we must consider the moral implications of doing so. At this time, Bishop José has ordered that all public worship and other church gatherings are to remain halted until further notice due to COVID-19. All updates regarding the status of worship services can be found on this page. Refer to our Resources page for materials that can be used during this time for self-guided prayer and worship. Additionally, St. Francis offers online giving so that you can continue to support our church using this page or the Givelify App on your mobile device.
