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.

We invite you to explore our website to get to know us a little bit. Meet a few of the people who serve at St. Stephen’s. Browse our calendar of upcoming events or see photos of past and recurring events.

Better yet, come visit! We’d love to have you experience for yourself what life following Jesus is like on our corner of NE 45th Street and 48th Avenue NE! We look forward to meeting you and discovering God’s work in this world together.

Coming soon:

Sister Joan Chittister, noted international lecturer and passionate advocate for peace, human rights, and church renewal will talk about her new book “The Time is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage,” and the courage it takes to build a greater world.

A book signing and photo opportunity follows the event.

About “The Time is Now: A Call to Uncommon Courage”:
Pairing scriptural insights with stirring narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Joan Chittister offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment. For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, Sister Joan’s energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action, this is practical and powerful activism for our times.

The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry is the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church. Here is his invitation to you to explore the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement.

Is it your first time going to an Episcopal service? Never fear! Here’s a brief guide to help you along.
