St Stephen’s Episcopal Church

Since that woman took over its turned awful. Marrying gay couple, force feeding pro-​gay teachings down the throats of the flock and then she wants everyone to sign a petition to repeal the 2^nd amendment. Horrible. This is losing members and it’s no wonder. She needs to be removed.

St. Stephen’s is very traditional where priests and everyone serving on the altar wear robes. However, you can dress as you like and you’ll be very welcomed by all. An Old Testament reading a Psalm, a New Testament reading, and a reading from a Gospel are a part of each Sunday service.
Social justice, service to our fellow man, is our response to the Gospel at St. Stephen’s Church. The Santa Clarita homeless shelter and the food pantry were launched in large part by members of St. Stephen’s.
There are no outcasts at St. Stephen’s. All are welcome.

I’ve attended this church for years. The priest gives wonderful sermons relevant to real life situations using scripture and contemporary examples. The music program is excellent — choir, handbells and organ — that enhance the service. The children’s handbell choir teaches children to read music while they have a lot of fun. There’s also a contemporary music group that lead the service once a month.
There’s other activities, too, like the back to school picnic, Night in Bethlehem, and special groups like Sages (for seniors) and the Men’s Breakfast. The services are mostly on the traditional side, and we support great causes like the Santa Clarita homeless shelter, Family Promise of Santa Clarita and the Food Pantry.

Services at St. Stephens are on the traditional side, although the congregation itself is rather liberal. Episcopalians tend to be on the quieter side (evangelism isn’t big at all) but if you’re looking for hymns you remember from your childhood, a supportive, accepting group of people and the room to reflect, this is a gentle and peaceful place to be.
Which is not to say we don’t know how to party. :)
