We believe faith grows best in community — when we worship together, learn together, ask honest questions, and walk through life side-by-side.
If you’re looking for a place to belong, we have several opportunities for you (and your family!)to connect and grow.
Young Adults Small Group
This month, we’re launching our Young Adults Small Group for ages 18–32.
If you’re looking for:
a place to belong
real friendships
a community to walk life’s journey together
faith that grows in honest conversation
…this group is for you.
Come as you are — we’d love to meet you.
Facilitator: Pastor Randall Lucas
Sunday Mornings: Kids + Youth Programming (9:30 AM)
Every Sunday at 9:30 AM, we offer children and youth programming designed to help young people grow in faith and community.
Young Disciples Sunday School (Ages 4+)
When children turn 4, they graduate into our Young Disciples Sunday School program. From there, they continue their faith journey through:
age-appropriate Bible stories
hands-on activities
meaningful experiences
community and belonging
And our message every single Sunday is this:
You are a child of God.
God loves you exactly as you are.

Youth Opportunities
Youth Sunday School: 9:30–10:30 AM
Mosaic Youth Group: 4:30–6:00 PM (3rd Sunday of the month)
We believe it’s essential for young people to feel safe and supported while they ask big questions about life, faith, and everything in between. The world they’re growing up in is complicated — and we want them to know they don’t have to navigate it alone. At St. Stephen, we welcome their curiosity and help them discover God’s presence in their lives and reminding them they are loved unconditionally.
