Church of the Palms has returned to an RED STATS status as part of our four-phase rebound plan.

The increasing infection rate in Beaufort County has caused us to revert back to a more cautious state.

In-person worship at Church of the Palms will remain suspended throughout the rest of the year, including Christmas Eve. The Gathering service held each Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and the 11 a.m. service held on Sunday will be live-streamed on Youtube.  The Church of the Palms Youtube channel is at www.palmsumc.org/youtube.

Further restrictions are imposed on all groups and activities. No groups or gatherings of 10 or more are currently permitted and then only those deemed necessary provided.social distancing and use of masks, as appropriate is observed. Use of facility is only by requests received and approved in advance.

Groups, such as Scouts, may meet outside provided social distancing is observed.  

The entire plan matrix is available here.

Your support, patience, and faith in a God of love and mercy are very much appreciated!

Calling those who may wish to serve the church with Worship Enhancement. Displaying prayers, songs, or videos or by adjusting sound so all can hear is our main focus.

Training can be flexible to your schedule. If interested contact Pastor Pete at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
