Summer Sunday Schedule: Sunday at 8am and 10am Welcome to St. Michael's Episcopal Church, a vibrant parish in midtown Raleigh. Though nestled in a quiet residential part of the city, we are easily accessible from downtown, midtown, North Raleigh, and Cary. St. Michael's is a mainstream Episcopal Church - glorifying God in beautiful liturgy and serving Christ and the World for which He gave his life. Our motto is to "Follow Christ in Discipleship and Mission," which we do especially through worship, children's and youth ministries, adult formation, mission and outreach, and the area's finest choral music program involving singers of all ages. If you are new, please find out more.
