12-Step/Recovery Groups
St. Stephen's Church provides meeting space for a number of 12-step and recovery groups such as AA, Al-Anon, DA, and OA. On weekdays when the parish office is closed, such as holidays, the AA group can still meet. (Please note that this is the case only for AA, not for the other recovery groups that use our space.) For the most up-to-date information on group meetings held at St. Stephen's Church, please see our calendar. If you have further questions about any particular group, please consult their websites. Here's a starting point. Because these groups are anonymous, we do not publish nor provide contact information.
