Our Church
At Saint Stephen’s we know that you are a beautiful part of what God is doing in this world, and by gathering together in community, we can support each other through prayer and love to be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus Christ in our neighborhood and the world.
We are an Episcopal Church. You can learn more about the Episcopal Church here.
We believe that all people are welcome to participate fully in our community and church. Regardless of your story, history, economic status, race, gender, or orientation, you are invited to take part of all Sacraments of the Church and life in our community.
We believe in God, we believe in Jesus Christ, and we believe in the Holy Spirit. We encounter God in Christ through our worship and participation in Holy Communion. All are welcome to receive the gift of Holy Communion.
We affirm the Nicene Creed every Sunday and believe that God is doing something new in our lives, in our community, and in this world.
We come from a variety of backgrounds, bring a variety of truths to the table, and are committed to being together, learning from one another, and putting our faith in the greater truth of the living God. We don’t all agree, but we do support and love one another, we love God, and we love what God has created.
If you are interested in the Episcopal Church or Saint Stephen’s, we encourage you to reach out to one of our clergy and begin a conversation about what God is doing in your life.
What We Believe
History of Saint Stephen’s
On May 27, 1973, 40 people attended the first service at Saint Stephen’s in a trailer.
It all started when…
Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church began its worship on May 27, 1973. While the church grew expanding from a trailer, to a new sanctuary, to a new parish hall, from a community of 40 people to over 2000, Saint Stephen’s never lost sight of the primary function which is to go out into the world and share the radical love of Jesus of Nazareth and the Good News of God in Christ. Parallel to that is the church’s desire to help those in need through outreach. Saint Stephen’s has over the years gone to great lengths to do all within its power to provide for those who go without.
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. Saint Stephen’s looks forward to accepting the challenges of a new world with the fresh old message of Jesus Christ crucified and Jesus Christ resurrected. We hope you will join us in this call to mission to proclaim the Gospel, help those in need, and build a strong Christian Community. We welcome you!
