St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

November 15, 2018

Welcome!

Welcome to St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. We strive to recognize and nurture the Christ in ourselves and each person that we encounter along the way. Join us for service on Sunday to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ.

Our mission as a parish is to open our hearts to God and to share Christ’s unconditional love with the world. We do this by following three pathways:

Welcoming: We invite all to join us at every stage in their spiritual journeys.
Worshiping: We cultivate a living tradition of liturgy and a life made holy by the sacraments.
Working: We share our abundance, we strive for justice, and we accept our calling to protect God’s creation.
