Welcome to St. Stephen's!   
God in Christ is shaping us as a church 
in the 19th Ward in Rochester, NY 
in the 21st century.

  • We are a diverse community

  • We welcome and respect all people.

  • We honor young people as full and equal participants in worship and ministry.

  • We worship with joy and exuberance. 

  • We are ministers of the Gospel of Love, Peace, Joy and Acceptance.

  • We are ecumenical: respecting all Christian traditions.

  • We are inter-faith: respecting all faith traditions.

  • We worship to be strengthened to serve.

  • We believe that God's love for all creation is unconditional.

  • We believe that God's power is best revealed in community.

  • We recognize that God isn’t finished with us yet. We are humble about our own errors and tolerant of those of others.
