St George's Episcopal Church
About
We are a diverse intercultural parish with worship services conducted in 3 primary languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. Saint George’s Episcopal Church elects a single Vestry from all 3 language-specific cultures to manage our affairs. Our church is but one within the dynamic Diocese of Long Island, and has grown from serving early English settlers to providing community, language, and spiritual services to parishioners who thrive on contributing to the most dynamic and industrious nation on Earth.
Our commitment to the community at large is grounded in our traditions as an expression of the Episcopal way of life. Moreover, our growing participation within the community is spurred by implementing new ideas for more language-inclusive harmonies in our traditional worship services. Currently, in each calendar year we hold at least 2 services, at Christmas and Easter, that are tri-lingual and for the complete congregation— comprising all language groups normally found in language-specific services on the other days of the year. It should be noted that our celebrations and events are open to all.
Our desire is to establish combined religious education for youth at Saint George’s. We would like to see a strong religious education component for all youth irrespective of language affiliation, preparing them for service within the Church as either lay readers or as befits other ministries, instilling in them an identity that proceeds from Episcopalian beliefs and traditions. Our Church youth will benefit from corollary competencies in English and the American idiom.
The Diocese of Long Island has a ministry dedicated to working with youth and youth projects within the Episcopal Church. The Cathedral for the Diocese is located in Garden City, 15 miles from our Church.
