Welcome
The Church of the Mediator welcomes you to Micanopy!
We are celebrating the sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary of our church building. Originally built for the Presbyterians around 1874 it continues to host church services, concerts and community events.
Our 2024/2025 concert series has started. Instead of having a concert in November, we are having two in December. The first Sunday of December, we welcome Peter Kinzie and his theater organ. The second Sunday of December, Pastyme with Good Companye will present their Renaissance/Early music Christmas/Advent program. Both concerts are at 2pm.
Join us Sundays for the 11am service (with music before the start of the service). Following the service join us for coffee hour in Ryan Hall (behind the church).
Our church organ ceased working in May 2024. We have been using a Viscount Cantorum Duo in services. The church elected to purchase the organ and has made a down payment. We welcome any contributions toward paying for it. Checks marked “organ” can be sent to the address below.
On the first Thursday evening of the month, from 7pm to 8pm join us for a time of Soaking Prayer. It is time spent in personal prayer without distractions. See the blog page for details. (Note the July meeting will be on July 11th).
The Church of the Mediator is a congregation of the Diocese of Florida of The Episcopal Church, in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Mission Statement:
Our vision as an inclusive Christian Church in this community is:
to share God-centered worship
to be a Christ-forgiven people
to serve all our neighbors
while inviting everyone to grow with us in our walk with Christ.
We are located at 501 NE Cholokka Blvd in Micanopy, FL. We are across the street from the Herlong Mansion.
The word “Episcopal” means “having Bishops.” We are part of the Diocese of Florida, served by our Bishop whose cathedral is in Jacksonville. The Episcopal Church in the United States of America is a daughter church of the Church of England. Because of our English heritage, we are often called “Anglicans.” The responsibilities of the Bishop are currently being handled by The Standing Committee until a new bishop is elected.
