75th Anniversary
Since our founding in 1949, St. George’s has been a congregation of people planted and sent in Christ.
As we mark our 75th anniversary this year, we give special thanks for the people of God whose faithful commitment and bold initiatives have helped the kingdom flourish in our corner of Nashville and beyond. Our festivities will culminate in a weekend of celebration October 25-27, 2024. We invite you to join us for these special events as we give thanks to God for 75 years of ministry in this place together.

Rhythm & Roots
A Celebratory Evening of Story & Song
Friday, October 25 | 6:00 - 8:30pm in Legacy Hall
The story of 75 years of ministry at St. George’s includes passion, mission, and sacrifice for God’s kingdom. Friends, I am excited about experiencing our Rhythm & Roots evening with you. As much as we have reminisced and celebrated already this year, this parish-wide event will be a formative, landmark experience to share together as the church body. This is a time of festivity and enjoyment, an opportunity to delight in friendship and give great thanks for the life we share together. Please join us to celebrate 75 years of St. George’s Episcopal Church.
Parish Reception
Sunday, October 27 | 10:05am in Hampton Hall
Join us for a parish reception as we wrap up our 75th Anniversary Preaching Series with fellowship and vintage recipes from St. George’s very first reception cookbook. We will honor prior members of the reception committee who have invested so much in parish hospitality over the years. This reception also serves as a way to remember the saints who’ve gone before us in anticipation of All Saints Sunday on November 3.
75th Anniversary Celebration Concert
Sunday, October 27 at 6:00pm
This fall St. George’s celebrates 75 years of ministry together, which includes a longstanding tradition of sacred music concerts and community partnerships. To mark the occasion, the Choir and Choristers of St. George’s will join forces with an orchestra to present movements from two beloved masterworks: Haydn’s “Lord Nelson” Mass and Handel’s Messiah. The performance of these two triumphant works celebrates not only our parish’s growth since its founding, but also gives thanks for perseverance through bold initiatives and challenges. We invite you to continue the celebration at a reception after the concert.
God's Sacred Story: Bradford Gallery Exhibit
Opens Sunday, September 8
Our newest Bradford Gallery exhibit celebrates the continuing story of God's people here at St. George's over the last 75 years. We invite you to visit the gallery this fall and reflect on and celebrate some of the major initiatives of this parish and the ways that this church has overcome incredible adversity in our history.
