St. Helena's Episcopal Church, a historic landmark in Beaufort, South Carolina, is seeking community support for a major restoration project. The church, built in 1724, is one of the oldest continuously operating churches in the United States.
The restoration aims to address structural issues, including the roof and foundation, which have deteriorated over centuries. The project is estimated to cost $2.5 million, according to church officials.
Fundraising efforts include a capital campaign and community events. The church has already raised $1.2 million, with a goal to complete the restoration by 2028.
