Formation

Christian formation goes far beyond the intellectual catechesis of each individual in our community. Through various Bible and book studies and opportunities for prayer and spiritual life development, St. Stephen’s is committed to helping to form whole Christians-mind, body, and soul. Discipleship is for all of us to do and for all of us to receive throughout everyday of our lives, as we grow in communion with the Lord Jesus and one another.
