About Friends Community Church

My wife Angie and I are High School sweethearts who also grew up together in a little country Church, King’s United Methodist Church in Laurel, DE.

We were married in 1989. God has blessed us with two grown daughters, Stephanie and Megan. Megan and her husband Justin just gave us our first grandchild, Ruth Joan.

Angie & I enjoy antiquing, collecting local milk bottles and spending time with family and friends. Now our new favorite pastime is being Paw-Paw and Mom-Mom to little Ruthie.

Stop by, we would love to meet you and get to know you and your story. Please join us!!

Church Council Chairwoman

Dawn Turner

I have been attending St Stephens for more than 50 years. As a little girl walking to Sunday School, attending Vacation Bible School, playing on our co-ed youth softball team, and making wonderful, lifelong friends while in the Youth Group. I like to tell people that when I think of my childhood, my most fun times were right here with my friends in our youth group. My husband, Rich, and I were married here in March 2002, and we have raised our daughter, Erynn, in Sunday School and Christ Connections Youth Group. Now, she’s helping when she can when she’s home from college. I have worked in the court system for 25 years and held many leadership roles in several Delmar community organizations.

I feel closest to God when my family is vacationing across our country, visiting National Parks. God's beauty is out there for all of us to see if we just take some quiet time to see it.

"Hello, this is St. Stephen's Church." When you call it is more than likely me who will answer.

I am fairly new in my walk of faith. The beauty of this is when I reflect over my early experiences & opportunities, I see God, even though I didn't acknowledge Him. At first I had regretted not knowing Him sooner but God doesn't care when, as long as you do. My husband and I are blessed with babies, grandbabies, fur- babies, family & friends.

"I feel closest to God in the early morning with a cup of coffee."

Give us a call I'd love to chat with you.

Human Relations Chairman

Kevin Jenkins

I have been in service to God and country, community and the people around me my whole life. In addition to church, I participate with numerous community organizations and Historical Societies in and around the Delmar and Wicomico County areas and help my wife, Tammy, with the St. Stephen's Christ Connections Youth Group. I greatly value the friends and family I have at St. Stephen's. It is a church with a Bible-based message. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and have one son who is also an active member of St. Stephen's and the Delmar Fire Dept. I enjoy old music, old cars, antiques of all kinds, studying and preserving history and, when able, sunrise walks on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

Pastor Paul proves that church can be a learning, fun and enjoyable experience. Come join us!
