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 †
