We, the members of Saint Stephen First Martyr Hinesville, Diocese of Savannah Georgia centered on the Eucharist, seek to bear witness in both word and deed to the Gospel, centered on Jesus Christ. "The Church is not motivated by any earthly ambition but is interested in one thing only-to carry on the work of Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for he came into the world to bear witness to the truth, to save and not to judge, to serve and not to be served." (Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World Vatican II Gaudium et Spes. 3.)
     We seek to foster a community of faith that is welcome to all regardless of race, color, social or economic status or sexual orientation. We seek to journey in faith and charity with all our brothers and sisters' who are made in the image and likeness of God.

     Through faith and apostolic works, we strive to grow in faith and charity as a family sharing with one another the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.
