The very first Moravian Sunrise Service originated with the Moravians living in Herrnhut, Germany in 1732.

In North America, this year marks the 253rd Sunrise Service in the Moravian Church in America, Southern Province. The Moravians, who first landed in Savannah in 1735 and later settled in Old Salem
(Winston-Salem, NC), have faithfully celebrated the empty tomb every Easter morning.
The service is open to all denominations and believers in Christ.

The Lord is risen!   The Lord is risen indeed!

Welcome to the Savannah Moravian Fellowship

The Savannah Moravian Fellowship exists “…to provide spiritual enrichment for their members and to offer opportunities to enjoy practices unique to the Moravian experience.”

Moravian Fellowships may be organized by Moravians or former Moravians (communicant members of existing Moravian or other Christian churches) in places where no Moravian Church exists to provide spiritual enrichment for their members and to offer opportunities to enjoy practices unique to the Moravian experience. Fellowships follow guidelines established by the Provincial Elders' Conference and are not required to grow into and become established congregations. (Book of Order, Section 16)

We are proud to serve God as we grow Christ's Church by bringing together Christians of all backgrounds to be His disciples. Our ancesters started their North American missions 287 years ago with the first Moravian settlement in Savannah, GA. We feel that it is time to re-establish our roots and open our doors. The Savannah Moravian Fellowship is seeking founding members with open minds and hearts who feel the call to help create a worship environment that is filled with scripture, music, and Christian traditions.

Savannah Moravian Fellowship is the first Fellowship being organized in the Savannah area.

Why study Moravian Doctrine if I am not a Moravian?

The Moravian Church is nearly 600 years old. Our church was established in a remote village in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) by a small group of people who wanted to live according to their understanding of the New Testament rather than by the official teachings of the churches of their day. Despite the enormous changes in the world over the past six centuries, the Moravian Church has never lost its attitude that it is preferable to follow Christ as part of a community rather than individually or merely as a passive member of an impersonal institution. The Moravian understanding of Scripture, theology, and Christian living has always been worked out in the midst of a loving and intimate community.

It has been very important for Moravians that the members of the community of faith personally understand the teaching of the Church and participate in the ongoing formation of that teaching. We have not restricted the study and formation of doctrine to professional theologians or ordained clergy. From our earliest days we have included the entire community in the discussion of what it means to be a Christian and a member of the Moravian Church.
