Strengths: A small family parish known for local outreach, St. Stephen the Martyr Episcopal Church is an enduring community which values the welcoming warmth of its members and their high level of involvement in worship and stewardship. The diverse age of worshipers at St. Stephen's lends our fellowship a personalized atmosphere of informality, openness to laughter and acceptance.

Challenges: St. Stephen's primary challenge is to increase current membership, especially among young families. A significant number of parishioners would welcome expanded adult Christian education programming, possibly on a weekly or monthly basis.
