Pastor Willie

Dear Friends,


Welcome to the website of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, the “Heart of the Grove and Reaching Beyond.” I hope you enjoy exploring our site.

We are a diverse, inclusive, and radically welcoming community of “all sorts and conditions” of people. One of the things I love about this parish, in fact one of the things which led met to accept the call to be rector of this amazing parish back in 2001, is the historic commitment St. Stephen's  has had to radical hospitality, to diversity in unity.   We are fiercely committed to the mission that "all are welcome here" -- gay, straight, black, white, old, young, poor, rich, Latin, Anglo, single, married, or partnered.  We continue our commitment to nurturing families, whether those families are defined traditionally or redefined to meet a diversity of lifestyles and needs.

If you are seeking a parish where all are valued as part of God's multifaceted creation, we hope you'll visit St. Stephen's and consider making us your parish home.

In Christ’s love,

The Rev’d Wilifred Allen-Faiella
Rector, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
