Our Mission and Vision
Mission
St. Stephen Lutheran Church is based on the foundations of grace and
ministry. We strive to provide a strong faith community of Christian
acceptance, compassion, hope and joy. In response to God's call to love and
to serve, we encourage spiritual growth through worship, Christian-based
education, fellowship and service.
Vision
We acknowledge each person's faith journey and are challenged to foster our
own and each other's spiritual growth.
Through grace and ministry, we
reach up, reach in, and reach out by active participation in:
- Worship, including faithful attendance, daily prayer, and other acts
of joy and thanksgiving to praise God;
- Christian-based education, through individual or group Bible study,
age-specific programs and other offerings to deepen our understanding of
and relationship with God;
- Fellowship, which builds relationships with others to sustain
ourselves and to strengthen our faith community;
- Service, through the balanced use of one's unique gifts and resources to graciously serve God
and humankind.
