A Matthew 25 Church where all people are children of God

The purpose of Stone Church is to be an inviting, spiritual community of Christ, engaging in worship that inspires and challenges us to learn and grow as we reach out in caring and service, trusting in the love of God.

Sunday Morning Worship at Stone Church

April 12, 2026 – 2nd Sunday of Easter – Low Sunday

Come join us as Stone Presbyterian Church in Clinton, NY 10:30 a.m. April 12 for worship in person and live stream on Facebook Live as we celebrate the second Sunday of Easter, often called Low Sunday. From Acts 2:14a, 22-36 we will hear Peter preaching about the resurrection and from 1 Peter 1:3-9 how we have been born again to a life full of hope.  Storyteller Donna Goodfriend will tell the familiar story from John 20:19-31 of Jesus appearing to a doubting disciple. Pastor Scott Leonard will preach on “After Shocks.”

A View from the Steeple

Stone Church is proud to announce the publication of A View from the Steeple, written by Marjorie (Midge) Bakos, one of the Church’s long-time members.

Midge, a direct descendant of one of the earliest of area settlers, tells how she developed her interest in historical research by assisting the former Stone Church secretary, Peggy Weldon, in fulfilling requests for dates of baptism, marriage etc.  As she recounted, “One particular morning while on such a search, I came upon the name Zebulon Peck who was a deacon in the early church from 1801 to 1808, ten years after the founding of the church in 1791. Oh my! It dawned on me that my grandmother had tried to tell me several times that he was my g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather from Bristol, CT…. Now the pieces of the puzzle began to fit together and I looked through more material. I had papers and books everywhere….”
