About Us
Pastor Jon and our entire community of faith welcome you to St Stephen!
We are young, old, and middle-aged. We are families with babies, retirees, students, faculty, and staff at the College of William and Mary, couples, and singles. We are school teachers and health care workers. We are parents raising children; people working at Colonial Williamsburg, in the community, or some distance away; and people serving in the military. We are people who have grown up in Williamsburg and people who come from all over the country. We are regulars, tourists, and visitors.
We are part of the mission and ministry of the wider church through our denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We believe that community is beautiful and messy and fulfilling and conflicted and…the POINT. God calls us together into community for the sake of one another, our neighbors, and creation. We don’t always get it right, but we trust that when we center the love and grace that Jesus taught, we will get it right more often than not. You are welcome here! We don’t expect perfect, put-together people; we don’t want you to conform to us and our ways; we want you to show up as who you are and experience the love and grace of God as we have. And we hope that once you do, you will join us in sharing it with others too. We affirm with St. Paul that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, and we welcome all who are seeking God, regardless of gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.
