Keeping Faith, Looking Ahead. Together.

Keeping Faith, Looking Ahead. Together.

The Second Century Campaign

For nearly 90 years, St. Stephen’s has been a place where faith takes root and is nurtured, relationships flourish, and lives are transformed. As we look ahead to our next century, we are preparing our church home to be more welcoming, accessible, and ready to serve generations to come.

This is more than a building project – it is how we are responding, together, to God’s call for the future of our parish.

Stories Behind the Vision

At the heart of this campaign are the people of St. Stephen’s – the stories, relationships, and moments that have shaped our shared life of faith.

Each story is unique, but together they reflect a common hope: that St. Stephen’s will continue to be a place where we grow in faith, follow Christ, and strengthen one another in community for generations to come.

A Season of Invitation

There is a place for you in this story.

From the very beginning of this campaign, we have chosen a path rooted in openness, relationship, and shared discernment. Rather than waiting for a single moment to “go public,” we have been inviting conversation all along – listening, learning, and growing together as a parish.

Now, we are entering a new season – one where we are widening that invitation and creating space for everyone to engage more deeply.

Whether you are just beginning to learn about the campaign or have been part of it from the start, this is your invitation join us.

The invitation is open – and it includes you.

Our Vision & Why It Matters

Every week, St. Stephen’s is filled with life – worship, music, children and youth formation, outreach ministries, and gatherings that bring people together in meaningful ways.

For nearly 90 years, this church has been a spiritual home rooted in connection, care, and shared faith. As we approach our centennial, we are called to prepare that home for the next generation.

But after decades of faithful use, our buildings no longer fully supports the life and ministry already unfolding within it.

This campaign is about removing those barriers—and creating spaces that reflect our deepest values. We imagine a St. Stephen’s that reflects the vitality and joy we experience today:

  • A place where all are truly welcome
  • A campus that is fully accessible and easy to navigate
  • Spaces that foster connection, hospitality, and community
  • A church home that supports vibrant ministry for all ages

Through the Second Century Campaign, we are preparing St. Stephen’s to remain a place of hope, worship, and belonging for generations to come.
