History
St. Giles Presbyterian Church was officially organized with 109 members on Palm Sunday, April 10, 1959 by the Mecklenburg Presbytery (PCUSA). The church was named for St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland.

In the fall of 1971, the body of believers at St. Giles experienced spiritual renewal through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This began a shift in worship style, ministry and giving that continues to affect all aspects of the church.

To align ourselves with a denomination that more closely represented our biblical beliefs, St. Giles formally withdrew from the PCUSA in 1989 and was received into the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).
