Father Kent Tarpley leads a very popular noonday Tuesday bible study that meets throughout out the year. The group study's the bible often using NT Wrights bible study books. Please check out this very informative and enlightening opportunity that is available to us at St. Mary’s.


Newcomer's Class

A class for Newcomers provides an introduction to St. Mary's and the Episcopal Church, and helps participants explore what it means to live a life of faith. Please come, whether you are new to Christianity, the Episcopal Church, or to st. Mary's. Share your story, your hopes and fears; and explore your gifts and find a ministry that suits those gifts.

Confirmation & Reception

Confirmation is offered for adults and youth who were baptized as infants and are ready to make a mature declaration of faith before the Bishop of the Diocese. For adults who were confirmed in another church, reception into the Episcopal Church is marked liturgically by making a declaration before the Bishop. Confirmation and reception may take place during a Bishop’s visitation.

Retreats and Special Classes

Throughout the year we have other classes to deepen your faith and relationship with God. Advent Quiet Day, Lenten Quiet Day, Wednesday night bible Study throughout the season of Lent, and workshops on Praying through Art, Purposeful advanced planning and many others that purpose to connect faith with everyday living.

Welcome First Visit Children Joining St. Mary's

Welcome and thank you for visiting our St Mary’s website! We hope you will find helpful information here about our parish. We invite everyone to “Come to the River” because we believe what you will find here is a genuine welcome, a real community of people from all walks of life who come together for worship designed to empower and nurture disciples to serve the world in Jesus’ name. St. Mary’s natural setting is infused with the beauty of God’s creation, peace and renewal. So, look around our web site. Then come and join our journey of faith and see God at work in our midst on the banks of the St. John’s River in Green Cove Springs Florida.

When you come into the church, you’ll encounter steps or a ramp that will take you to the Red doors and the front porch of the church. There might be ushers, greeters and worship leaders there to welcome you and offer you a bulletin. The bulletin will help you know what’s happening in the service. As you enter the church you find yourself in our NARTHEX (that’s Episco-speak for entryway) and that is where we keep our sign-up sheets, newcomer information and where the coloring sheets for the children are located. We look forward to greeting you!

If you have YOUNG PEOPLE, they are welcome! Young people are an integral part of our life together at St. Mary's. They aren't just the future of the church, they are the church today!

Worship Services

We often get asked how I do I “join” St. Mary’s? The short answer is: come to St. Mary’s! We welcome anyone and everyone to join us for worship on Sunday mornings or at any of our church activities. We believe that first and foremost, membership in the Church means being part of a community that is drawn ever more deeply into relationship with God and our neighbor through Jesus Christ.”
