St George Employee Directory

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 En... glish settlers to providing community, language, and spiritual services to parishioners who thrive on contributing to the most dynamic and industrious nation on Earth. After an intentional discernment process, we have agreed on four strategic goals: identifying as one body in Christ, a community reflecting his light and compassion; maintaining a spiritual connection with God through Scripture, prayer, meditation, and teaching; treating others as we would want to be treated, doing God's work without boundaries; ministering with our combined youth-motivating, supporting, and guiding them to build a foundation of Christian values. In point of fact, Saint George's Church offers many activities to promote our service to the Flushing community. For example, our doors are open to the public daily; the Service League operates a Thrift Shop; we hold an Annual Bazaar, host a Music School (CenterStage: the Queens Center for the Performing Arts), host a chapter of Episcopal Church Women, host prayer groups and services 5 days a week; host ESL classes; and we started free tutoring for 5th to 9th grade students on Saturdays in July and August of 2011. 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. ...Read More
