Parish Wide Events

There’s something special about coming together as a whole church family! Throughout the year, we host parish-wide events that are full of fun, connection, and meaningful moments. Whether it’s a picnic, a concert, or a seasonal celebration, these gatherings are a chance to laugh, share, and simply enjoy being together. Everyone’s invited—come be part of the joy of Saint Stephen’s!

Community Group Gatherings

Community groups are one of the best ways to make our big church feel a little smaller. These smaller gatherings meet a few times each semester and are all about connection—sharing stories, enjoying time together, and building meaningful relationships. There's a place for everyone, and we'd love for you to be part of one!

Annual retreats

Each year, various groups step away from the busy rhythm of daily life and gather at Camp McDowell for a weekend of rest, renewal, and connection. Whether you’re hiking the trails, rocking on the porch, worshiping under the pines, or laughing around the campfire, there's something for everyone—adults, youth, and families alike. Come make memories, deepen friendships, and experience God’s presence in the beauty of creation. We’d love for you to be part of it!
