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

Sunday 5/3/2026

Come join us as Stone Presbyterian Church in Clinton, NY 10:30 a.m. May 3 for worship in person and live stream on Facebook Live as we celebrate the Fifth Sunday of Easter. We will hear from Acts 7:55-60 of Stephen who becomes the first martyr of the new church, from 1 Peter 2:2-10 to be like living stones built into the temple of God, and Pastor Scott Leonard will tell from John 14:1-4 how Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  Pastor Scott will preach on “The Cornerstone”

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….”
