St. Stephen and St. Martin’s Episcopal Church is a vibrant parish of diverse seekers who—through our baptismal vows—respect the dignity and humanity of each person. Through prayer, study, and evangelism, our parish is a dynamic place of worship for committed souls and faithful stewards who foster community partnerships, growth, and development.

We are a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, and through the Episcopal Church, a member of the Anglican Communion.

We Believe

  • the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written Word of God;

  • there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost;

  • in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years;

  • in the blessed hope—the rapture of the Church at Christ’s coming;

  • the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ;

  • regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation;

  • the redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing in prayer;

  • in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life;

  • the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4*, is given to believers who ask for it;

    *All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

  • in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.

At St. Stephen & St. Martin’s Church, we believe our mission is to guide people to a life of faith in Jesus Christ then on to lives that are fully devoted to Him. We accomplish this in three ways:

  • CONNECT…People to their Creator
    We believe that people are made to be in personal relationship with God who created them, through the person of Jesus Christ.

  • CAUSE… That people would find a purpose worth living for and dying for
    We believe people are made to participate with God in changing the world.

  • COMMUNITY…Provides people with genuine relationships that result in life change
    We believe people are made with the need for authentic friendships with other people.
