JOin us Sundays at 10:30am In person or on zoom
WELCOME
Our diverse, multi-generational, Christian community enjoys a lively liturgy that incorporates a variety of styles and music. Services are conducted bilingually in Spanish and English.
Our youth programs and community organizing activities help to make the church a vital community resource and a model for faith communities seeking to live out their faith in service and the struggle for justice.
Fellowship
We gather for coffee hour fellowship after service every Sunday. We invite everyone to bring treats to share. Some Sundays we hold workshops or conversations about various topics that are relevant to the community. We also have celebratory meals on Christmas Eve, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and other special occasions.
Repentance and Reparations
We are actively examining the history of St. Stephen’s, with special attention on possible links to slavery and the slave trade. This work is in keeping with a resolution we sponsored at Diocesan Convention in November of 2020, calling upon the entire Diocese to examine our history. We will continue to update as we learn more.
Christian Education
We offer Church School for children September through the beginning of June. We begin at 10:30 a.m. when the service begins and children usually return to the service at the Passing of the Peace. Learn more about Sunday School and our Christian Education Educator, Georgia Hall.
Compline
Every Wednesday at 7pm we gather on Zoom to pray together. Each week we honor and learn about a different saint in our tradition.

Today, our successful, cost effective, out-of-school time programming engages 850 young people ages 5-25 from all over Boston, as well as their parents and teachers.
