About Us

The Rev’d Drew Courtright and his family moved to Hong Kong in January 2025. Drew grew up in North Carolina, USA and studied theology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland (Master of Theology) and The School of Theology at the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, USA (Master of Sacred Theology). He was ordained a priest in The Episcopal Church (USA) in 2018 and has since served at churches in New Hampshire, New York, and now Hong Kong. Drew had a great experience of church growing up and, after many encounters with God’s Grace, came to find that his interests and gifts fit best as a priest. Drew loves to listen, answer questions, and pray with and for people. He believes God’s Grace is for sinner-saints just like him. He also enjoys reading, keeping fit, playing music, and being with his wife and three young daughters.

What to expect on Sunday Morning

Church begins at 10:00am, every Sunday, in the 2nd floor School Hall at SKH Wei Lun Primary School. 

You will be greeted with a smile and given a worship booklet and hymnal. Please sit wherever you would like. 

Every Sunday service includes hymns, readings from Scripture, a sermon, prayers, and Holy Eucharist (the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper). 

During the school year, we offer two age-based “Discoverers’ Classes” (Sunday School) for children ages 2-5 and 6-12 during the service. Children begin the service with their families, go to class after the first prayers, and then return in time to receive communion and sing the final hymn. 

After church, there is a time to chat over tea and coffee. 

We look forward to seeing you!
