As God creatures we reflect the Trinitarian, communal nature of the Godhead. It is not good for us to be alone (Gen. 2:18). Therefore, community matters to us! It is essential to our faith life together. Please look to the descriptions below for opportunities to find meaning in belonging.
Bede's at the Beach

Cape Lookout State Park, D Loop

Each year, the St. Bede's community and those connected with us venture out together on a beach trip. Feel free to camp with us us just come for the day. Be prepared for long walks on the beach, deep discussions, laughter, community social time, specially-themed communal dinners, daily morning prayer, our famous St. Beak's bird watching outing, Saturday night Eucharist, and more.

Coffee Hour & Hospitality
Our coffee hour and hospitality teams help St. Bede’s to be a warm and welcoming place. We provide refreshments after our 10am Sunday liturgy and other special occasions such as potlucks, bishop visitations, and the agape feast after the Great Vigil of Easter on Easter Eve.
Fellowship Dinners

Small groups meet monthly for a while, shuffle as new people are interested, and then start again. Dinner groups are a fantastic way to develop deeper connections with fellow Bedians. Sign-up on the narthex (entryway) kiosk if you are interested!
