Preparing for Sunday 

resources for congregation

St. Stephen's Church

Sunday Service 11:00 AM

St. Stephen's is a small congregation committed to the ministry of all the baptized with a focus on ministries of social justice.  We are involved in a number of outreach ministries and in several ecumenical partnerships.  Members are actively involved in diocesan as well as congregational life. We have a history of strong lay leadership, a sense of independence and a vision for the future. Our corporate life is grounded in the Eucharist and the use of both the Book of Common Prayer and contemporary liturgies enhanced by a variety of music.  We welcome all those with whom we can share the transforming influence of a Gospel of love and inclusiveness. 

Ministry and Outreach

The lawn on the west side the church building includes an outdoor labyrinth constructed by members of the congregation and friends over the course of two summers.  The labyrinth is available to anyone who would like to use it as a place for prayer and reflection and a means for spiritual development. 

As ambassadors for Christ, we are dedicated to ministries in both the local and global communities. In the Fargo-Moorhead community, we currently serve meals regularly at the Salvation Army and Churches United for the Homeless.  We have a commitment to the work of Habitat for Humanity and actively support achievement of the Millennium Development Goals through such national/international efforts as theHeifer Project, Episcopal Relief and Development, and Nets for Life. 

We are also an Integrity Partner congregation.  Integrity is a group of Episcopalians whose mission is “to be the witness of the lesbian and gay community in the Episcopal Church and of the Episcopal Church in the lesbian and gay community.”
