St. Stephen’s Community Outreach Commitment
St. Stephen’s is a community dedicated to spreading love throughout our metro area and beyond. Our shared purpose is deeply anchored in our faith as followers of Jesus, striving to recognize and alleviate human suffering both locally and globally. We utilize our talents to help those in need by actively serving and financially supporting our outreach ministry partner organizations.
Our financial contributions to these outreach partners are allocated through annual outreach grants managed by our Outreach Committee. These grants are funded by donations from our Bridge Builders, individuals who generously leave legacy gifts to the parish, and from our annual fundraising opportunities known as “Bash” events.
Our Bash events include:
- The Fall Family Bash: Wed, Sept 17 from 5 – 7 PM
- The Bash After Dark: Fri, Oct 4 from 6 – 9 PM
- The Bash Bazaar: Sun, Nov 9 from 11:30 AM – 12:45 PM
These gatherings provide various opportunities for the entire parish to unite and enjoy different activities while raising funds to bolster St. Stephen’s Outreach Ministry. In 2025, our Outreach Ministry budget exceeds $100,000, and with support from people just like YOU, our goal is to sustain and expand this assistance in 2026!
