Our Mission
The Great Ends of the Church
To affirm the Great Ends of the Church, we must continue to make investments of time, talent, energy and financial support.
The overall cost of the campaign will be $1.8 million. With commitments already made, the goal is to raise $1.3 million from members and friends of the church.
In committing to this goal, we not only honor the commitment of those who have gone before us, but also impact the lives of those present, and assure the vitality and relevance of St. Stephen for future generations.
Prayerfully consider your pledge of financial support for this important work.
