Serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton and most of North Fulton county, St. David's Episcopal Church is a thriving parish of over 700 families located in Roswell, Georgia, approximately 20 miles north of downtown Atlanta. St. David's Episcopal Church Convenient to Roswell, Alpharetta , Milton, John's Creek, Woodstock, and North Fulton County We are a like-hearted and diverse community of faith gathered and shaped by Jesus’ abundant love. We are focused on growing deeply and serving passionately, that we might shine Christ’s light wherever God might call us. There’s a Place at the Table for Everyone Relationships Come First Love like Jesus Unity over Uniformity Tradition not Traditionalism At the Altar, at the conference table, sharing meals, in the classroom – everyone has a place at the table at St. David’s. We desire your participation, and we invite you to bring your whole self to the table. We’ll make sure there’s room for you there. Plan your visit We draw nourishment and stability from our deep roots in ancient traditions, without sacrificing flexibility. We aren’t a museum for church traditions but participants in a living faith, anchored by practices that have been honored since the time of Jesus first followers. We believe reconciliation was the primary goal of Jesus’ work. Our relationships matter and define how we pursue our mission and activity. Person-to-person connection is a gauge of vitality at every level of the organization. We do our best to love God and our neighbor, always expanding the definition of “neighbor”. We strive to love not as the world loves, but as Jesus loves: wholly, unconditionally, and sacrificially. Everyone’s different; we honor that. We don’t seek to be a group of people who think alike about everything; we desire to be people who share a common heart, a common purpose, and a fellowship of love. Being together in community is more important than political affiliation, tribal identity, or which sports team you cheer for.

Spiritual growth begins with St. David's Youth Ministry. Christian education in a fun, group environment. Middle and high school can feel like a whirlwind—balancing classes, extracurriculars, friendships, family dynamics, and the many “firsts” that come with growing up: driving, dating, preparing for college. It’s a lot. At St. David’s, we aim to be a steady presence in the midst of it all. Our youth community is a safe, welcoming space where young people are encouraged to bring their whole selves—questions, doubts, hopes, and joys. Here, they’ll find acceptance, belonging, and the tools to make a real impact in the world through the transforming love of God. Together, we learn, pray, serve, laugh, and grow—building a more beloved community along the way.

Designed for children, St. David's Communion Class teaches the sacrament and the importance of the Holy Eucharist. Holy Communion Holy Communion Class Next Class: TBD 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Downstairs in Jeffords Hall In the Episcopal tradition, all baptized persons are invited to receive communion, including children. Parents in conversation with their child determine the best time for their child to receive. Many children receive the bread as soon as they are old enough to hold it. However, some families choose to have their children wait to receive communion until the child is a bit older. St. David’s Holy Communion class is an engaging and interactive class, designed for children Kindergarten-5th grade to learn about the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. The focus of each class is belonging. Belonging to Christ, belonging to our families, and belonging to our church family through the gift of water and God’s Holy Spirit at Baptism, and in communion, the coming together, for the shared meal of bread and wine. During the class, the children and leaders explore St. David’s campus, learning about our church home as we seek God in the Holy spaces that abound here. The children learn about Jesus’ baptism, share photos of their own baptism, and receive instruction on how to receive the communion bread and wine as they learn about the traditions of our Episcopal worship. The class meets on three designated Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. downstairs in Jeffords Fellowship Hall in the Grace classroom. For more information or to register your child, please contact the Director of Children’s Ministry, Judy Hine.

Stained Glass Windows Part 2 - The Four Evangelists "The Four Evangelists" Location: Rear of Church, Flanking Pipes of Organ At the ordination of a priest, the Bishop asks the ordinand questions found in the part of the service called “The Examination.” Before beginning the list of questions, the Bishop addresses the ordinand and issues a charge: “You are to preach.” Specifically, the Bishop tells the ordinand that, “As a priest, it will be your task to proclaim by word and deed the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Because of this charge made to every new priest, it is appropriate that the two stained glass windows at the back of the nave, which are effectively hidden from the view of the congregation, are the very ones that the members of our clergy see facing them every Sunday when they stand in the pulpit. These two tall narrow windows are in the gallery flanking the pipes of the organ. They commemorate the four Evangelists – the writers of the Gospels – whose names roll, in order, off our tongues so easily after years of repetition: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are also the plainest of all the stained glass windows in the building: generic figures of four men, each holding a bound volume, with a quill pen in hand. Above each one’s head appears his name, prefaced with the word “Saint,” and behind each head is that device used by artists when depicting saints: a glowing disc referred to as a “nimbus.” The plainness of these windows is emphasized by the absence of the traditional symbols that appear so often in stained glass representations of the four evangelists -- the four winged creatures mentioned both in Ezekiel 1:4- 10 and Revelation 4:6-7.

Children, youth volunteers, and adults joined together to gain a deeper understanding of God’s love through participating in our annual Vacation Bible School (VBS). Our VBS theme invited us to look closely and discover how God reveals His greatness in the tiniest moments—and that’s exactly what we did. VBS 2025 was packed with energy, laughter, worship, and so many unforgettable moments. We’re so thankful for every child who came, every parent who brought them, and every incredible volunteer who made it happen. God moved in powerful and joyful ways all week long—and we’re already counting down to next year! To all our amazing volunteers, thank you for your dedication, love, and servant hearts. To our participants and families, thank you for joining us on this journey. And to our incredible VBS leadership, we are deeply thankful for your guidance and joyful spirit. Questions?

We believe that when you are our guest, we are co-hosts with God, who has extended an invitation to each of us to share in the love we have come to know at St. David's. Please stop by our Welcome Center in the main entrance of the Church, and a member of our Welcome Ministry will be there to assist you. We also encourage you to fill out a Welcome Card, which may be found at the Welcome Center, in the pew racks, or online (here). The Welcome Card will enable us to send you information about our Church. It can be given to a greeter, or member of the vestry, dropped in the offering plate, or in the box located at the Welcome Center. Communion The Eucharist culminates in Communion, a shared meal of bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus' death and resurrection. An usher will invite you to come to the altar rail. You may stand or kneel at the rail, though most parishioners kneel. Most parishioners hold their hands out with their palms open, and a minister will come to you to place bread in your hand. You may then take the bread to your mouth or dip the bread in the wine. You may receive the wine directly from the chalice by guiding it with your hand if you prefer. If you would not like to receive Communion, simply cross your arms across your chest like an "X", and a minister will offer a prayer of blessing instead. If you have a question and do not see it here, please feel free to contact the church office. We are happy to answer any questions you may have!

Bible Studies Adult Learning St. David's has several Bible Studies that meet from September through May and generally break for the summer. Each Bible Study has its own course of study and has different areas of focus. We invite you to explore these offerings.

Thursday Morning Bible Study Thursdays Beginning October 9 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Jeffords Hall The Thursday Morning Bible Study invites everyone to attend their special seven-week class in the Fall—the fascinating tale of the Book of Esther. This is the Old Testament “made understandable”! Esther is the incredible true story of the survival of God’s people amid hostility in the Persian Empire. Esther is a beautiful Jewish orphan who becomes Queen of Persia and is used by God to save her people from extermination. Interestingly, the name of God is not mentioned once in this beloved Old Testament book, yet God’s providential care is intertwined all through her dramatic story! Hers is a tale of danger and courage. You don’t have to be a Bible expert to enjoy this class. We laugh, hug, drink coffee, and study—and we have a place for you! Join us in Jeffords Hall from 10:00—11:30 a.m. beginning Thursday, October 9. The class is free and is also available as a live Zoom chat or as a YouTube lesson. Click here to registers. Or contact Kim Freeman if you have any questions. Come journey with us. All are welcome!

Drop-ins are always welcome. Contact Chris Burpo for information. Saturday Morning Bible Study returns for the fall on Saturday September 21, 8:30-9:30 a.m. in Grace Parish Hall. This fall’s program will be something different, sort of like a “choose your own adventure”. We will choose the scripture to be read and discussed from a list of descriptions (without attribution or context) of selected events and personalities which the various authors have woven together to explore the major elements and themes of unique stories.

St. David's stands ready to support our community during difficult times through prayers, readings, and clergy visits. Our funeral guild will help facilitate funerals at St. David's. Funerals The liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all its meaning in the resurrection. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too, shall be raised. The liturgy, therefore, is characterized by joy, in the certainty that “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of Godin Christ Jesus our Lord.” Book of Common Prayer, Page 507 When there is a death in your family or a family member is near death, call the church. If it is after office hours, please call the main church number, 770-993-6084, and follow the directions to contact the Priest-on-Call. St. David's always has a Clergy member on call. We want to support you and be with you at your time of loss. Prayers and Readings: Near death or at the time of death The Book of Common Prayer provides prayers for the time when a person is near death (p. 462), and at the time of death (p. 462-463). When possible, the family and friends join together in the Litany (p. 462) led by the parish priest or by a lay person if the priest cannot be present. If you do not have a Book of Common Prayer, you may find it online at www.bcponline.org . Planning a Funeral or Memorial Service When it is time to plan a Funeral or Memorial Service please contact the church office. We will help schedule a meeting with a member of the Clergy. The priest will meet with the family to plan the service. If may find St. David's Guide to Funerals by clicking the button below. You may find it helpful in planning. Funeral Planning Form: A Gift of Love and Faith Planning your funeral is an act of care for those you love. Our Funeral Planning Form makes it simple to share your hopes for readings, hymns, and other personal touches. Together with clergy, you’ll create a plan that reflects your faith and provides peace of mind for you and your family. Click here to access the form. A Guide to Funerals at St. David's Funeral Guild: St. Joseph of Arimathea St. David’s has a strong team of caring parishioners who facilitate funerals. Led by the laity of the church, and under the direction and supervision of the Rector, the Guild of St. Joseph of Arimathea assists in every aspect of the Burial Liturgy. From arranging readers, vergers, chalice bearers, and ushers, to being with the family before the service, this guild works with the clergy to provide a thoughtful, dignified and meaningful service based on the Burial Rite in the Book of Common Prayer.
