St. Martha's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Martha's Episcopal Church in Bethany Beach, Delaware, holds two Sunday services, at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., at 117 Maplewood Street. Both celebrate Holy Eucharist Rite II with music, and the 10 a.m. service adds the choir and hymns. During each service, worshipers may come to the altar for a personal blessing marking a birthday, an anniversary, upcoming travel, or a special intention. Coffee hour follows each service. The 10 a.m. service is also streamed live on YouTube for anyone worshiping from home.

The music program includes a choir, a bell choir on special Sundays, and occasional concerts by guest musicians or visiting choirs. Licensed lay worship leaders and lay preachers take part in the church's worship life. Baptisms, weddings, and funerals are arranged through the parish office, which is open Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and can be reached at (302) 539-7444. The building is wheelchair accessible. The church's mailing address is a separate post office box, so visitors should use the Maplewood Street address for directions. The congregation began in 1940 as a summer chapel and has held year-round services since 1980.
