St. George's Episcopal Church

"In this old, old giant space, you will hear preaching as big as the heavens, as deep as the oceans and as uplifting as the mountains. The St. George's community is warm and welcoming, and as multicultural as the mosaic that makes up NYC."

"Because of the pandemic, I would have thought that church life and upkeeping the faith would be extra challenging. But the parish of Calvary St. George's seemingly seamlessly moved their operations virtually, making their service accessible to myself and countless others. They've grown a lot since I've joined only a year ago, but they're not a church that would allow that to get to their ego, or change their fundamental message. Which is to get the gospel right, before getting the gospel out. I've heard many sermons from many places over my life, but the message I get here is unique, and feels a blessing to hear. It carries with me through the week, it can't be helped -- it's hard not to crave coming back. The people who go there and also those who run the parish are some of the most naturally warm and welcoming types of people I've ever met. There's no doubt God works through this parish. I feel a real happiness to be here, and grateful to have found this place. Bonus, the music alone is worth absorbing and losing yourself in."

"Personal clergy, welcoming community, incredible music, and amazing Sunday school and youth corps programs! Would 10/10 recommend St. George's to anyone looking for a new church home."

"I’ve been attending St. George’s for nearly 14 years, and can honestly say that I hope to attend for the next 14 years. Having been raised in a more conservative tradition (read: do-it-yourself Christianity), St. George’s was the first church I ever attended where the Gospel message I was hearing really felt like “good news.” Since then, St.G’s became my home, and I feel more a part of the community than ever, as the people there attend not because of shared politics, class, or interests, but because of a shared view that we’re all sinners saved by grace."

"Beautiful historic church on Stuyvesant Square Park and close to Union Square. My family worships here in person every Sunday. Out of great love for people, the church is very careful to observe a restricted number of attendees, social distancing, contact tracing, and mask wearing. If you don't feel comfortable meeting in person, you can always join online at calvarystgeorges.org. The liturgy will lift your gaze heavenward and the sermon will help you see Jesus. Hope to see you Sunday!"
