The Schoenstein & Co. Organ

Loud organs, his glory forth tell in deep tone... The Hymnal 1982, #432

The organ at Christ & Saint Stephen’s was designed and built by the San Francisco Company of Schoenstein & Co. in 2008.

-dsc2031-1-thumb7_530

The organ of 15 stops, is in the symphonic style, of which its concepts of maximum variety of tonal color and the widest possible dynamic range, creates an instrument not only of great beauty, but versatility. This symphonic style is ideal for the Anglican service, which demands the most intricate and sophisticated choral accompaniments, solid support of congregational singing, and a wealth of tonal variety for organ solo repertoire.

The façade pipes were decorated, (as in the Victorian period) to capture the color and design motifs of the church. The organ case and choir stalls were beautifully built by New Holland Church Furniture Company.

In 2015, Nigel Potts (former Organist & Choirmaster) released the first commercial CD of the organ in an all Wagner & Elgar program with Mezzo-Soprano, Sarah Rose Taylor. For further information, please click here.

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. Make your flower dedication any Sunday except the Sundays in Lent (when we have no flowers in the church), the Christmas services or Easter Day. To secure a particular Sunday for your flower dedication, call the office at 212-787-2755 ext. 0 or send an e-mail request to Kristin at [email protected].

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.
