St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

Our Parish Mission Prayer:  Heavenly Father, we ask you to help us fulfill our mission; to worship You in a loving community, to support people on their Christian journey and to empower disciples for service so that we can bring Jesus to each other and the world.  Amen.

St. Stephen’s, Delmar, was founded in 1909, and originally met in a blacksmith shop in Elsmere, NY. The original church building was completed in 1926, followed by the current sanctuary completed in the mid-1950s. In 2007 a second floor was added which houses the St. Stephen’s PreK Academy – a popular community preschool that provides high-quality academic and spiritual education. St. Stephen’s is known for its love of missions, outreach, sacramental ministry, scripture and good preaching.  We strive to be faithful to our mission “to worship God in a loving community, to support people on their Christian journey, and to empower disciples for service, so that we can bring Jesus to each other and to the world.”
