Serve

There are many ways to participate in the ministry of St. Stephen’s because we believe that ministry belongs to the whole people of God. From the Altar Guild to the Vestry, and everything in between, members of our community offer their time and gifts in response to God’s call. These ministries are places where we live out our baptismal promises—serving one another, caring for our neighbors, and sharing in Christ’s love. Along the way, they become spaces where friendships are formed, faith is deepened, and together we join in the work God is doing in and through this community.

Opportunities to Serve and Connect

Please take a moment to look through our various ways to grow and serve through the ministries and activities here at St. Stephen’s. Working together in this way will deepen your walk with Christ and also help make God’s transforming love known and visible in the world. We hope you will decide to find a ministry that is calling you and join in.

If you would like more information, please contact the church office, and you’ll be put in contact with someone who can answer your questions!
