St Stephen's Episcopal Church

ST. STEPHEN'S WELCOMES PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
People with varied interests and backgrounds can all find a connection here, whether through our Children's, Music, Outreach, Pastoral Care, Creation Care, or Faith Formation programs, to name a few.

We hope our website answers your questions about how we grow our faith, how we worship, and how we live out God's calling, but the best way to explore our faith community is to visit a worship service. Please see Worship Services Schedule to the right to find a time that works for you.

For more information, please contact the our Parish Administrator, Brenda Free, or Fr. Larry, Rev. Mary, Mo. Jan or Fr. Tom in the Church Office at (925) 254-3770. We look forward to welcoming you to the St. Stephen's community.

EXTENDED COMMUNITY SUNDAY WORSHIP (click here for service)

For those times when events prevent attendance at Sunday services at St. Stephen's, we are providing a short family-friendly worship service. When you or you family participates in our worship in this way, it extends the St. Stephen's worshipping community into the world
Please e-mail office@ststephensorinda.org to let us know how many in your family have participated in the extended worship experience each Sunday.

Please designate to "Angel Project". Thanks again!
