Welcome

Whoever you are and wherever you might be in your spiritual pilgrimage, we welcome you to explore the spiritual life with us and journey with us as fellow pilgrims. St. Stephen's Church is a growing community of people from a variety of backgrounds - some are life-long Episcopalians, others are very new to the Episcopal Church, and some are from different denominations and faith traditions. What they all have in common is a desire to live a deeper life, and they have all had at least an intimation of God's presence in some aspect of our life together:

• Some of us sense the love of God in our very intentional care for one another - pastoral care here is not just the professional responsibility of the clergy but is something we all take seriously as a community.
• Many of us sense that God is most powerfully present when we engage with those who are poor and marginalized, and the result is a community-wide determination to make a difference in the world.
• Others who call this church "home" are people who are drawn to our serious educational offerings - we believe that taking the spiritual life seriously does not mean disengaging the mind.
• And still others are encountering the Divine in our various gatherings that promote the contemplative life in a world that more and more resembles a roller coaster.
  

St. Stephen's Church is an incubator of faith for small children, a safe and encouraging environment for youth in their journey to adulthood, and an increasingly diverse fellowship of adults who are being fed, supported and commissioned by the love of God made known to us in Jesus. There is a place for you here.

Our hope is that if you choose to join us on our spiritual journey at St. Stephen's Church, you will feel at home. The best way to see what it's all about is simply to join in any of the worship services, activities and programs of this parish church. And if you want to learn more about something, just ask. This parish church exists for you. We are all fellow travelers and members of the same family of God. No one belongs in this community more than you.
