Located in historic downtown Oxford, North Carolina, St. Stephen’s is a small but vibrant parish dedicated to living out the Gospel by following the example of Saint Stephen, the church’s first martyr and one of the first twelve deacons.
Each week we gather to celebrate the ancient rite of Holy Eucharist during two services on Sundays, Centering Prayer on Wednesdays, and other services tied to our liturgical roots during various seasons of the year. We are committed to contemplative prayer practices, creation care, and service to our community.
The people at St. Stephen’s want to know and help our neighbors and the parish partners with a number of local agencies, such as Area Congregations in Ministry, the Boys and Girls Club, Murdoch Developmental Center, and Hope House.
We are in a process of reimagining and re-visioning how we share our faith in new ways both inside and outside our walls through work with Genesis II.
Through these ongoing worship and service activities, we try to live out our mission to share “the Gospel and love of Christ Jesus through service to our Church, community, and world.”
