Who We Are
St. Stephen's is a small community church. We are part of The Episcopal Church that draws from both the Protestant and Catholic traditions. We are part of the Anglican Communion, churches around the world in communion with the Church of England. Member churches share a common heritage and commitment to the authority of scripture, tradition, and reason. We are local and global; small enough to care, yet big enough to serve.
A Welcoming Church
We are warm and friendly, caring yet care-free. We take life seriously; God seriously; one another seriously, yet we are casual and fun-loving. Join us! Leashed service dogs are welcome.
A Word and Worship Church
Our Sunday service is traditional yet contemporary. We use the current Book of Common Prayer (mostly Rite II but have been known to use Rite I during Lent.) The Scriptures and the Sacraments ground us in wisdom and balance. In this ever-changing, fast-paced world, our church gives us a sense of meaning, belonging, and purpose.
An Outreach Church
Outreach is core to our identity. Outreach is assisting others with financial, material, spiritual and emotional aid. We seek to love and serve God by loving and serving those around us. Most of our members are passionately involved in ministering, in a tangible way, to those we’ve never met.
A Retiree/young professionals Church
Our members are mostly retired but we have members who are young professionals working in the Medical, Retail, and Realty fields. We love kids! Even though we currently don’t have lots of children in church, children are welcome. We are here to help develop a richer relationship with God, and here for one other.
