St. Augustine's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church

St. Augustine's Chamber Singers lead music during worship and offer concerts each year. The worship repertoire is broad, from the Anglican canon on though gospel and contemporary compositions. The music program also presents a range of performances by local and touring artists, from bluegrass to opera, sacred music to spoken word, and more.

Sunday School: Hands-on activities and vivid story-telling connect kids with the Bible and each other as they journey through God’s Word and world. The children reconnect with their families in church for communion.

Onsite nursery is available from 8am through noon

Youth Group: Gathers monthly for spiritual formation and service activities.

We offer bible study on Wednesday mornings, Sunday Forums between services, EfM (Education for Ministry), and a broad range of evening classes during the year. 

Women, and all who identify as women, gather monthly for dinner and discussions or activities led by women+ of the parish community. And they host an annual retreat for women+ on a spiritual theme led by guest retreat leaders.

We regularly cook dozens for Home-y Made Meals, a local organization delivering boxed/bagged meals to people who are unhoused.

In keeping with the Diocese of Los Angeles' resolution to be a sanctuary diocese, St. Augustine's has resolved to be a sanctuary parish with open hearts to serving immigrants and refugees.

Our parish joins clergy and lay leaders of all faiths to actively support low-wage workers in their struggles for justice. Together we help workers and their families in their battles for good jobs and dignity in the workplace.

St. Augustine's has been supplying our regional food bank on a weekly basis with items donated on Sundays.
