Welcome

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is a place to grow in faith:  to ask open-ended questions, to experience deep tradition and contemporary reflection, where all sorts and conditions of people are welcomed.  Come and see.   We will welcome you to the communion table, and you can stay for coffee hour! Our worship is on the formal side, but not stuffy.  Some guys wear ties, some women wear jeans ... some little children sit in the front pew and some go down to the (really nice) nursery. Here's a great article if you need more information about what to expect.
