| St Stephen's Episcopal Church Oak Harbor, Washington St Stephen's Episcopal Church is located on the north end of Whidbey Island in the city of Oak Harbor . The church has been in Oak Harbor since 1954 when it was made a mission church of the Diocese of Olympia. During the 60's and 70's the church was an active part of the diocese with outreach to the local and regional areas. In Oct 2004, the vestry and priest voted to disassociate from the Episcopal church, becoming St Stephen's Anglican Church, and that group continued to worship in the main church building. Since that time, the Episcopal congregation has met in homes, and eventually moved back into the All Saint's Chapel building. The Episcopal congregation has continued its parish status with the Diocese of Olympia, and from Feb of 2007 until Oct 2009 had a 1/3 time Rector. With the Rev Dick Scott currently serving as Interim Priest-in-Charge, the congregation is now seeking a 1/2 time Rector. |

Outreach is an important part of
our worship. We give food to the
local Help House each month, we
support Habitat for Humanity with
lunches, we are actively involved
in buying Mosquito Nets for Life,
we select an outreach each
month for a special gift, and each
year we support the Hispanic
members of a local congregation
with Christmas gifts for their
children. We have recently
raised funds to purchase a well
for a village in need of clean and
healthy water.
