Adult Education & Formation

Teach them the statutes and instructions and make known to them the way they are to go and the things they are to do. Exodus 18:20

Formation and deepening knowledge of the Christian faith is an essential part of the Anglican ethos. CSS endeavors to provide illuminating, interesting and challenging educational programs for adults as well as children.

Adult Education Forums: Throughout the year, adults gather in the Undercroft on Sunday mornings from 9:30 am to 10:30 am, between the two Sunday services for a variety of presentations. Recent presentations include Modernity & the Search for God: Christian Art in the 19th & 20th Centuries, An Introduction to the Gospel of Mark and The Incarnation in Anglican Prayer and Worship.

Book/Video Groups: During Advent, Lent and Eastertide, adults join in evening discussion groups centered on novels, theological works and film and video series. Recent groups have read The Warden by Anthony Trollope, The First Christmas by Marcus Borg and John Dominc Crossan and viewed the BBC series Diarmaid MacCulloch's History of Christianity: The First 3,000 Years. attend classes and book discussions groups. Watch the News & Announcements section of the website for details.

Quiet Days: Usually in the seasons of Advent, Lent and Eastertide, day-long retreats or Quiet Days are held to help deepen our spiritual experience.

User's Guide to the Episcopal Church: This lecture series lead by the interim rector, the Rev. Canon K. Jeanne Person, is designed to prepare adults for baptism, confirmation or for reception into The Episcopal Church. The series covers an array of topics including church history, ecclesiology, scripture, the sacraments and the polity of the Episcopal Church. The series is held in conjunction with a planned Episcopal visitation to the parish by one of our diocesan bishops.

The worship of God is at the very heart of our life together...

Every Sunday we offer inspiring worship with beautiful sacred music. In all we do, we offer the best we have, we experience the mystery of God, hear and wrestle with God's word, share Christ's presence in the sacrament, and feel God's love in our community, and leave strengthened to live and serve in the world. Please join us for worship, fellowship, outreach and education. You'll receive a warm welcome from all of us at Christ & St. Stephen’s. We look forward to seeing you.

Give Make a Pledge Stewardship Flower Dedications Planned Giving

For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. 1 Chronicles 29:14b

Give Online

Please consider becoming a pledging member of Christ & Saint Stephen's Church.

Make a Pledge

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God.

The Episcopal Church sees stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

Stewardship Keeps Our Doors Open!

Providing flowers for our Sunday worship is a way to remember a loved one, give thanks for a blessing, or honor someone important in your life.

The standard donation is $45. Please send your check to the parish office (attention: Kristin) two weeks prior to the selected date including the dedication information for the Sunday bulletin.
