When we gather to worship God, there is a sense in which that worship is a mystery. But the real mystery is in how God acts and in our experience of that worship. There is no reason why we can't all have a better understanding of what we do and why.

This page and its links are designed to introduce you to worship at King of Peace Episcopal Church in Kingsland, Georgia. King of Peace follows worship practices common in the Anglican Communion with its more than 70 million members around the world. The information presented here describes a worship experience much as you will find it celebrated throughout the world.

First, Episcopal Churches emphasize scripture. Each Sunday at King of Peace we read a section of the Old Testament, a portion of the Psalms, something from one of the New Testament letters, and a portion of one of the four gospels. Every three years, we read through the Bible in our worship services. If you want to learn more about what the Bible actually says and what it means to our lives, we may be the church for you.
