Saint Matthias Church
St. Matthias Ministries, located in North Bellmore, NY, is a historically significant church facing legal challenges regarding its property, as the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island seeks to reclaim ownership and evict its congregants. The church holds a deep-rooted legacy within the community, with members expressing strong ties and sentiments toward preserving their place of worship, which has served as a gathering space for nearly a century.
The congregation, which largely identifies as a historically black church, has separated from the Episcopal Church after the diocese declared it closed in 2009. St. Matthias Ministries continues to hold worship services and events, reflecting its commitment to the community and its mission, despite ongoing legal disputes.
