Our Ministries

Community Outreach

The goal of the community outreach program is to provide services that include education, workshops, referrals, social interactions, and family activities for people of all ages. St. Stephen's uses evangelism and hospitality to give back to the community.

Evangelism spreads the word of Jesus Christ to all people through preaching, teaching, committing missionary work, and sharing the faith with the community.
Hospitality assignments include the responsibility of promoting and extending to all a feeling of welcomeness, fellowship, and the love of Jesus Christ.
