Welcome to St. Stephen's!
If you have been doing some spiritual soul searching, you’ve found a place where you can wonder with others.
If you have been searching specifically for an Episcopal church, we have a century of history in the heart of Seattle’s Laurelhurst neighborhood.
If you’re anywhere in between, you’ve come to a place where you can spiritually search, find ways to serve in community, and celebrate where God is in your life.

Lenten Reading 3: Annas’ Quandary
Out of a twisted heart comes a dark clarity and a last resort: listen to Jesus.
Lenten Reading 2: Entering Jerusalem
A “donkey for the day” stirs Annas’ imagination, but he determines to bide his time.
Lenten Reading 1: Gathering the Threads
Annas sits in his palace mulling over reports, thinking through scenarios and gauging the tempo of Jerusalem.
