St. Stephen’s is a community committed to spreading love in our metro area and beyond. Our collective life is deeply rooted in our faith as followers of Jesus, aiming to acknowledge and alleviate human suffering both locally and globally. We share our talents with those in need through actively serving with and financially supporting our partner ministries.
Our financial support is channeled through outreach grants distributed annually by our Outreach Committee. Currently, these grants are sustained by contributions from our Bridge Builders, individuals who generously leave a legacy gift to the parish, and from our annual Bash After Dark event. In 2024, we’re granting over $100,000 to support our partners and we are committed to continuing this level of support in 2025 and beyond!
Our community eagerly anticipates the 38th annual Bash After Dark! This year’s event promises to be another memorable and meaningful evening for the adults in our parish.
We’re equally excited to announce the addition of two new events that will benefit our outreach ministries. By introducing these events, we aim to create fresh opportunities for individuals of all ages to come together, have lots of fun, and support our outreach mission.
Presenting the FALL FAMILY BASH and the BASH BAZAAR!
