Our Story.
St.Sebastians, A Faith Community, where all are welcome, regardless of political, cultural, sexual or ethnic background or belief. Whether you have been walking in your faith journey for many years or are just beginning, we welcome you.
Single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, questioning, rich or poor, babies and toddlers, over 60’s and teenagers, those in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you are having problems, down in the dumps or don’t like organized religion. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, those who had religion shoved down their throats or have bad experiences in churches. We will walk with you in community and in Christ.
The community.
During the summer months, we are worship in the Duane Chapel, which is an outdoor chapel in an idyllic location, surrounded by nature and open air. For the cooler winter months, we have moved to the meeting room of the North Lodge, on the same property, at the Lost River Retreat Center, 2015 Mill Gap Road, West Virginia.
We Seek Authentic Community.
We are driven by a sincere desire to make a difference in the world. We truly believe in the power of collective action, when individuals and communities come together to solve pressing problems.
