St. Augustine of Canterbury

When this congregation was founded in 1960, the paved section of Wheeler Road ended at Aumond Road.  Further to the west were cotton fields, dairy farms and pine trees.  A dirt road meandered through the countryside in front of the property, as the first phase of our building (now the Parish Hall) was under construction.  In those days St. Augustine's parishioners were "Missionaries to the West" indeed!

Times changed, people moved, and Augusta has now become the second-largest city in the state of Georgia.  St. Augustine's is no longer on the edge of town, for "town" now extends into Columbia and Lincoln counties.  Our members come from throughout the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), bringing a diversity of gifts, talents, and personalities to the life of the parish.
