Worship Services
Worship at SSPC
St. Stephen holds a tradition of formal, liturgical worship that is unique among Presbyterian churches in the area. Two worship services are held each Sunday from mid-August through the Spring. The Lord’s Supper is celebrated each week at the 8:30 a.m. service.
Worship Times
During the summer, we have one service with communion at 10:00 am. The summer service starts the second Sunday of June and continues through the second Sunday of August.
During the rest of the year we meet at 8:30 and 11 a.m.
The 11 a.m. service is streamed online.
Thursday Morning
A service of morning prayer is held at 7:00 a.m. in the chapel on Thursday followed by breakfast. In addition, at various times during the year, we offer services of choral evensong, evening prayer, services of compline, ecumenical services, and services for wholeness.
Our
Core
Values
THINK.
We encourage questions– theological inquiry, honest searching–when it comes to matters of faith. We believe in Jesus, but we don’t believe that people get faith by squelching their sincere doubts, fears and concerns. You’re free to be who you are at St. Stephen.
SERVE.
Our faithful commitment to Jesus calls us to serve our fellow human beings, not out of a sense of obligation, but out of a genuine desire to show Christ’s love to neighbor and stranger.
WORSHIP.
We maintain a tradition of worship that acknowledges the mystery and majesty of God. Our commitment extends to excellence in music, and sermons that are both intellectually challenging and spiritually uplifting.
BELONG.
Here you’ll find rich and poor, young and older, blended families, gay and straight—all working and celebrating together as the Family of God. Here, everyone belongs.
Mission and Vision Statement
Worship with enthusiasm, serve with passion, learn with commitment, nurture with grace and welcome with love. An intentionally inclusive community of believers.
