Worship With Us
What to Expect
Worship Service • 11:00 AM
When you join us on Sunday, you’ll be warmly welcomed into prayerful, joyful service rooted in the traditions of the Episcopal Church. Our worship follows the Book of Common Prayer and includes Scripture readings, prayers, a sermon, Holy Eucharist (Communion), and fellowship each week. Music is a blend of traditional Anglican hymns and unique musical offerings from gifted musicians. Many of us come from different church backgrounds - from Free Will Baptist to Catholic to Methodist to never having been a church member before - and yet we have found in St. Stephen’s our spiritual home. Whether you are a lifelong Episcopalian or brand new to this style of worship, we welcome you as sisters and brothers in Christ. Every baptized person of any age is invited to receive Communion, or come forward for a blessing, because this is not our table, but it is the Lord’s Table; not our feast, but it is the Lord’s feast, and we are all beloved guests of Jesus. Come as you are; there is a place for you here.
Our Liturgy
Worship at St. Stephen’s follows the rich liturgical tradition of the Episcopal Church, shaped by Scripture and guided by the Book of Common Prayer. Each Sunday, our service moves through the Liturgy of the Word — hearing and reflecting on Scripture — and the Liturgy of the Table, where we celebrate Holy Eucharist together. These ancient prayers and rhythms connect us to Christians across generations and around the world.
Our liturgy is both reverent and accessible. You don’t need to be familiar with Episcopal worship to participate — the service is easy to follow, and we offer gentle guidance along the way. At the Lord’s Table, all are welcome. Whether you come forward to receive Communion or to receive a blessing, you are invited to encounter God’s grace in a tangible and meaningful way.
Music Ministry
Music is an essential part of our worship at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. Rooted in the Anglican tradition, our services include beloved hymns, sung prayers, and choral music that enrich the liturgy and draw us more deeply into praise. Our historic 1941 Austin pipe organ continues to lead our congregation in song, blending beautifully with voices raised together in worship.
We are blessed with a dedicated adult choir and a growing Kids’ Choir, both of which help lead worship throughout the year. We also enjoy special music from gifted members of our parish, including instrumental and vocal offerings. Whether you are an experienced musician or simply love to sing, there is a place for you in our music ministry — and we are always glad to welcome new voices.
