What to Expect
Our doors are open to all! St. Stephen’s Cathedral members and friends come from different traditions of faith. Regardless of your background, spiritual beliefs, cultural background, sexual orientation, or employment status, we celebrate you and you are invited here!
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Cathedral is a community exploring what faith and spirituality mean for us, as individuals and as a community. We keep open minds and respect one another for the different places on the journey we find ourselves. We consider ourselves followers of Jesus in the Episcopal tradition, but we also live with a deep awareness that we do not have all the answers. In the St. Stephens community, you won’t be asked to check your questions, doubts, or brain at the door.
When you arrive, someone will offer you a bulletin. Choose a seat where you feel comfortable and relax. Th bulletin offers a guide to the service and perhaps some additional information about what is going on within the church. In the pew of your choosing, you will also find the Book of Common Prayer and a hymnal. Both of these will be used throughout the service.
Services are comprised of some singing, some listening, reflection, and some prayer. There are some beautiful rituals (including the Eucharist, also known as Communion). We hope you will find these rituals meaningful. It is completely up to you if you take part or simply observe.
Join us after worship on Sunday for coffee hour immediately following the 10:15am service.
