St. Mary’s Episcopal Church

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Deerfield Beach is a growing congregation dedicated to proclaiming the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout our community and beyond.

We are especially committed to reaching people who do not yet know the all-inclusive love of Jesus Christ.

At St. Mary’s, you will find opportunities for worship, Christian growth, and fellowship. We hope that you find our church family friendly and our worship meaningful. We warmly welcome you.
