Edisto Island Churches
Edisto’s many churches reflect our diverse heritage. Congregations include Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, AME, Baptist, RMUE, Episcopal, and a Church of Christ is under construction. Many are historic; several are on the National Historic Registry, and all welcome guests. The Island’s ministerial association is active promoting interfaith and interracial visitation.
