"It's All About The People"
Our  Mission Statement:
    The mission of St Stephen's Episcopal Church is to restore all
    people to unity with God and each other in Christ.

Our Core Values:
    St. Stephen's Episcopal Church holds these values to be
    essential:

•        Christ Centeredness:
    We gather as a community around Christ as our focus in faith
    and worship, and will always strive to show love, inclusiveness,
    kindness, faithfulness, and forgiveness to all people as Christ
    has taught us.

•        Commitment  
    With God’s grace we seek to be loyal, dedicated, dependable,
    faithful, and true to our God, our church and each other,
    practicing good stewardship of
    God’s creation, ourselves and our resources.

•        Inclusiveness
    With God’s grace we seek to accept all whom God has created
    with respect, acceptance, empathy, awareness, justice,
    extending compassionate understanding to the differences of
    persons and ideas.

•        Communication
    With God’s grace we seek to be effective listeners, to hear and
    speak compassionately, to be open and aware of others, to
    welcome questions, to enter into dialogue openly and without
    prejudice, and to develop honest self reflection.

•        Compassion
    With God’s grace we seek to serve those in need, empathizing
    with those who suffer any alienation, lack or hurt; extending
    comfort and giving generously to those who are struggling,
    even as we give thanks for God’s blessings and gifts.

History of St Stephen's Episcopal Church



  • In September, 1952, Bishop Bayne assisted  the formation of a St.
    Catherine’s Guild to weekly services and a Sunday school program.  

  • January 1954 were formally designated as a Mission of the Diocese of
    Olympia and St Stephen's Episcopal Church A -frame was built.

  • In 1960 we dedicated a new building to accommodate our growth,
    what is now MIller Hall.
  • In 1976 we became a Parish.

  • In 1981 we built another new
  • sanctuary and classrooms. Soon after we moved into the new
    sanctuary, the A frame became All Saint's Chapel and Columbarium,
    the rector’s office,  the library and the church office.
  • January 2004 50th Anniversary of celebration.
  • Sept 2005-Jan 2007:The Faithful Remnant started weekly meetings in
    homes w/ Bishop Sandy Hampton (Ret) and the Rev Charlie Forbes
    (Ret) presiding.
  • Jan 2007: The Faithful Remnant returned to All Saint's Chapel.
  • Feb 2007: Rev Rachel Taber-Hamilton was called to be the rector of
    the parish of St Stephen's Episcopal Church.
