The church, grounds, and graveyard are very beautiful and serene. We were able to take pictures inside the church, which surprised me. Wish we had been available to come to Sunday service.

St. Michael's offered a low-key, casual and lovely service, with beautiful guitar and piano music, a thoughtful sermon, and an obviously faithful, dedicated community.

Wow, what a gorgeous and welcoming church! We stopped in for a visit on an historic walking tour and got to sit in pew 43 where George Washington prayed for his troops. Don't miss the cemetery out back!

So beautiful inside. Loved the enclosed seating. Stayed to enjoy the short noonday prayer service. Sat in seating #43 where George Washington had sat. Little cementery outside had beautiful gravestone.

Loved the stain glass, a lot of history, as George Washington actually attended a service there, as did General Lee. The church still have the purchased pews that used to be prevalent in Charleston many years ago.
