A Christian Community Where All Are Welcome

Worship. Love. Belong. Grow. Serve.
Church of the Nativity | An Episcopal Church in Greenwood, Mississippi

Loving, Liberating and Life-giving

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. For over a century, this Christian community has helped support each other in times of both joy and sorrow. Whether gathering for worship on Sunday morning, for a baptism, a marriage, or a funeral, our life together is rooted in common prayer and in the hope we have because of Jesus Christ.

Youth Ministries at Nativity

Youth in grades 6–12 are invited to join us for Youth Sunday School on Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM in the sanctuary and EYC on Monday evenings from 6:00–7:30 PM.

Monday nights are divided into three separate 30-minute blocks — dinner, worship, and dessert — so youth can participate in any or all of it as their schedules allow.

Whether your child can come every week or just when their schedule allows, there is a place for them here.
