WELCOME TO
ST. STEPHENS EPISCOPAL CHURCH

"We are a community of Hope:  Respecting and Celebrating the value of all people and Proclaiming the Good News, that through Jesus Christ, God calls us all to share in his Kingdom on earth."

Need Directions?
​We are delighted you are here!

St. Stephen’s is a community of faith rooted in the rich tradition of the Episcopal Church and joyfully open to all. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time, returning after time away, or seeking a new spiritual home, you are welcome here--just as you are.

Our worship is grounded in scripture, tradition, and reason, and guided by the beauty of the Book of Common Prayer. We gather to celebrate the sacraments, share in fellowship, and serve our neighbors with compassion and grace.
​
No matter where you are on your journey of faith, we invite you to walk with us. Come worship, learn, and grow in a place that values curiosity, inclusiveness, and the transforming love of God through Jesus Christ.

We would love to meet you in person or online. Until then, may the peace of the Lord be always with you.

​SUNDAY SERVICES​

Picture
A Spoken Service Rooted in Sacred Tradition
Step into a sanctuary of timeless grace. This spoken liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer allows the beauty of the words drawn from Elizabethan English to resonate—clear, contemplative, and deeply moving. Whether you are drawn by the beauty of the language, the solemnity of the rite, or the desire to encounter God in quiet reverence, Holy Eucharist, Rite I offers a sacred space for worship. Come as you are. Leave renewed.
Join us for coffee and treats before the 8:30 service or after the 10:30!
Picture
A Sung Celebration of Grace and Glory
Lift your heart in worship through word and music. Our Rite II service, drawn from the Book of Common Prayer, blends contemporary language with ancient rhythms of praise—brought to life through choir, organ, and congregational song. Rite II offers a more contemporary expression of the Eucharistic tradition, while remaining deeply rooted in Scripture and sacrament. Whether you are a lifelong Episcopalian or newly exploring liturgical worship, Holy Eucharist, Rite II offers a vibrant and welcoming experience. Join us as we sing, pray, and share in the mystery of Christ’s presence among us.

More About The Class

What is the Rector's Discretionary Fund?

The rector’s discretionary fund is a special parish fund used by clergy to provide confidential financial assistance and support charitable needs at their discretion.

This fund is rooted in Episcopal Church tradition and canon law, serving as a pastoral tool for clergy to respond to urgent or sensitive needs within the community.

On the third Sunday of every month, all "loose plate" offerings go the the Rector's Discretionary Fund.


You may also give online. Be sure to select "Rector's Discretionary Fund" on the drop-down menu.
