Emmanuel Southern Pines

Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Southern Pines, is a faith community located in the Sandhills of North Carolina.  The roots of this parish are traced to 1887, when the Rev. Robert T. Thorne, a semi-retired Episcopal priest, began offering the first non-denominational services.  This 'first church' established in Southern Pines, would eventually become an Episcopal mission named 'Emmanuel' on December 25, 1899.  

Today, the parish is a welcoming, thriving and vibrant community, reflecting the light of Christ from generation to generation.
