Who we are
Welcome
If you are traveling, visiting, or retiring in the River Region of the Diocese of Florida, we invite you to visit Church of the Holy Comforter. We are a small congregation actively involved in sharing God's love with the community around us. Crescent City is located in North East Florida about 45 minutes south and west of Historic St. Augustine.
Our Historic Church
In 1876, the Rt. Rev James Freeman Young, Bishop of Florida, assigned the Rev. Charles Williams, Brooklyn, NY, as missionary to Crescent City. In 1877, property was donated by the company which originally develop the city, funds were raised and the first services were held on February 10, 1878. Bishop Young consecrated the building on March 3, 1878.
The architectural design of Holy Comforter is termed Carpenter Gothic, a concept of English-born Richard Upjohn, who is also credited with founding the American Institute of Architects in 1854. Bishop Young had churches of the same design constructed along the St. Johns River between Sanford and Jacksonville which became know as "River Churches".
The original belfry, built in 1879, was damaged by a storm and reconstructed in 1942. The Rectory, which currently serves the South Putnam Christian Service Center, was built in 1913. Work on the Parish Hall was begun in 1936 under the direction of then Rector Frank Dearing and renamed Dearing hall in 1995 in recognition of the much beloved priest.

With us night and morning
By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered, and confidently waiting come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning, and never fails to greet us each new day. Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented, still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation for which, O Lord, You taught us to prepare. And when this cup You give is filled to brimming with bitter suffering, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling, out of so good and so beloved a hand. Yet when again in this same world You give us the joy we had, the brightness of Your Sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through, and our whole life shall then be Yours alone.
