St. Michael the Archangel
Orthodox Christian Community

Pickens, South Carolina

Welcome to our website! We are a Mission Outreach of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA (UOC-USA) with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Daniel and our supporting priest, V. Rev. Fr. Anthony Perkins.

Located in Pickens, SC, our community aims to continue a legacy of worship and service to God through bringing the Orthodox Christian faith to the Pickens community. Refuge Fellowship, an established 501c3 organization since 2023, is now offering Readers services, and supports this Orthodox church community. Our services are in the American Folk style and Obikhod, with express written permission of Henry Brink and blessing of our supporting Priest. Info on the music can be found here.

All glory to God, we are now meeting at Top Shelf Media Co., located at 113 Court Street, Unit C, Pickens SC 29671! Contact Reader Marcus at Marcus@RefugeFellowshipSC.church with any questions or for more information!
