WELCOME

For first time visitors to our site and to our Church, we welcome you! This page contains some basic information about Saint Stephen’s and Orthodox worship for those who haven’t experienced it yet. We are precisely the same Church across the globe, and across time, preaching the Gospel, teaching the Lord’s commandments, and worshiping God in spirit and in Truth just as we have these many centuries. In fact, our newest service is 1,300 years old! To start with, we want you to know at least this much: You are welcome here. We are always honored to have visitors join us for prayer. You won’t be asked to do anything which would make you uncomfortable. Our children worship with us. If you have young children, they are welcome here, too. If you need to step to the back of the Church with your child for any reason, you are not disturbing us. We believe our children need to be raised in the Church! All of our facilities are handicap accessible. If you need any assistance at all, please let us know. We are here to serve you. If you are an Orthodox Christian, and you have prepared yourself to receive Holy Communion properly, you are welcome to approach the chalice. We are part of the worldwide Orthodox Church – the oldest Christian Church in the world.  In every part of the world, there are Orthodox Christians, Churches and missions: in traditionally Orthodox countries like Romania, Greece, Russia, Serbia, the Middle East, and India but also in Japan, China, the Philippines, throughout Europe including Germany, France, Poland, Finland, across the British Isles, throughout the African continent including Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, and across Central and South America.
