Worship and Liturgy
Our weekly worship begins at 10:30am each Sunday. We follow the liturgical service, in English, adapted from the liturgies of Neufchatel and Vallangin, France, dated 1737 and 1772. We celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of each month. All are welcome at the French Protestant (Huguenot) Church. Since 1950, an annual service in French has been celebrated in the spring. Pastor Reverend Philip C. Bryant and Associate Pastor David Woody |

The liturgy used by the French Protestant (Huguenot) Church is translated from the editions of 1737 and 1772 published at Neufchatel and arranged for the use of the Congregation in the City of Charleston, South Carolina. The book was printed by James S. Burges, 1836.
The liturgy and our service would be familiar to anyone who has attended churches of the reformed tradition. There are many similarities to the Presbyterian, Congregational or other Calvin based church services. In our service, some congregants see a strong resemblance to a “Low” Episcopal service utilizing the 1928 Prayer Book. During each worship service, the Ten Commandments are read and the Apostle's Creed is recited. Communion, which is served on the first Sunday of every month, is given at the altar.
