WELCOME TO ST. STEPHEN'S!

 

Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, you are welcome at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. We are a medium-size church, also called a parish, which is the term for a self-supporting congregation under a priest, called a rector. We equally enjoy serving in the community through outreach and being a supportive family to our members, providing each with comfort, fellowship, and encouragement.

 

We enjoy our beautiful Texas Hill Country church and school property and find regular solace here in its mission-style Chapel and Church, Courtyard, Nature Trail, Labyrinth, and Cemetery. The St. Stephen’s Church and School (PreK 3 through 8th grade) share the campus and work closely together.

 

For those new to the Episcopal Church, we believe in:

• Women’s ordination

• Human rights

• Liturgical tradition alongside a clear devotion to the Bible, and

• An atmosphere of open curiosity (i.e. it is good to ask questions)

 

In the words of author and teacher, John Westerhoff, “We (Episcopalians) are a peculiar people whose spiritual arc bends more towards boundless hope and a reasonable faith than hardened surety and entrenched absolutism.”

 

So, whether you are already an Episcopalian, or you are curious and inquiring about what it would be and feel like, we invite you to join us Sunday mornings at 8 am or 10:30 am, and Wednesdays at 10:30 am for worship between Labor Day and Memorial. Perhaps, you would consider joining one of our classes for Adults, Teens, and Children. We also have a broad range of Ministries that you can participate in from bible study to outdoor beautification. Why not try it out?

 

Come meet us, worship alongside us, and ask as many questions as you would like.  Welcome!
