St. Richard of Chichester Episcopal Mission

Founded in 1968, St. Richard of Chichester has met within First Methodist Church for its entire life as a congregation due in large part to the island being a state park with limited private land holdings.

St. Richard's sponsors a fundraiser for Manna House, which serve meals six days a week to the homeless in Brunswick. The Potter's Guild donates 100 plus handcrafted bowls that St. Richard's sells  with a meal of homemade soups, salad, and deserts. The Soup Bowl fundraiser nets over $1500 a year for Manna House. St. Richard's members also prepare and serve lunch at Manna House every fifth Friday during the year.

St. Richard's prides itself on its ministry to Jekyll Island's winter guests with the worship community doubling during the winter season. St. Richard's does and Advent and Lenten study, holds monthly breakfasts, a wine and cheese party, and other special events for its guests. They conduct Christmas and Easter services for island visitors at Jekyll Island's historic Faith Chapel with more than 100 in attendance.
