Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church is in the heart of Cahaba Heights at the intersection of Vestavia Hills and Mountain Brook, Alabama. Founded out of a trailer in 1973, focused on mission and outreach, Saint Stephen’s has grown to one of the largest and most vibrant congregations in the Diocese of Alabama. Today, Saint Stephen’s continues to be a beacon for the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the building of community while focusing its sights continually on the needs of those outside her open doors and windows. While the church has a neighborhood feel, with a well-established preschool, our parishioners come from 37 zip codes in the greater Birmingham area. The pillars of our community life are Formation, Pastoral Care, Outreach, and Care of Creation, all pointing us toward and based in our worship of Christ.
