Our Divine Purpose Statement

​We are here to love and serve the Lord by loving and serving one another​.

WE BELIEVE we are a welcoming, non-judgmental, loving, special place to meet God who is love.

WE WORSHIP God in a simple manner through a variety of forms, changing the ritual as the church seasons change. Worship is centered around the Word of God and the Eucharist.

WE SERVE anyone who's hungry, either spiritually or physically, following God's command to love all our neighbors.

Our History

Episcopalians have a deep connection and long history with the community of Gaffney.  On April 27, 1880, the cornerstone for The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation was laid at the corner of Buford and Brown Streets in Gaffney. ​In 1960, the present church building on College Drive was constructed.

​Some of our highlights:

• 1945 - Incarnation was home to the first chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous in Gaffney. 
• 1980’s - Incarnation operated a preschool program that cared for many of Gaffney’s littlest ones. 
• 1980 - Incarnation hired the first woman ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Upper South Carolina, the Rev. Mellie Hickey. 
• 1990’s - Incarnation started the Gaffney Soup Kitchen

Of course, the history of any living institution is never complete. Incarnation continues to worship and to serve, to be the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in our community. We invite you to join your history with ours as we continue to grow together.​
