Christ Episcopal Church

Together with the Diocese of Texas, St. John’s in Center and St. John’s in Carthage, Christ Church in San Augustine supports the efforts of  The Hope Project in Tenaha, Texas. CEO Colonel Jean Diebolt, MSN, opened its doors in 2003 to provide quality healthcare to the under-served of East Texas. As a non-profit faith initiative of the Episcopal Church, East Texans, regardless of race, religion, socio-economic status, or ability to pay, are offered medical services, which include counseling and dental care. Since its inception, The Hope Project has grown to over 20 employees, more than half who are bilingual, and has served more than 5000 patients.

Christ Church, St. Augustine works closely with Care and Share, Inc by providing volunteers and donations of food and clothing. For more information, visit Care and Share, Inc.

Care and Share was founded in 1987 by 34 founding members including: President: Mr. Val Sharp, Vice-President: Mr. Bill Garsee, Treasurer: Mr. Robert Bickley, and Secretary: Mrs. Mickey Bryant

This mission of service ministries among the various churches and helping agencies is entered into out of a sense that no one person or no one church alone can deal with the complex interrelated problems in our community, and out of a deep sense that we are all part of the Church called into being by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.

The parishioners of Christ Church support the Boys and Girls club of San Augustine through volunteer efforts and donation.
