Forest, Virginia
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church
Join us for tradition, learning, discernment and fellowship.
Welcome to St. Stephen’s
“No matter who you are or where you are on your journey, you are welcome here.”
Since our founding more than 200 years ago, St. Stephen’s has welcomed people to this sacred place in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We share a life of worship, prayer, education, fellowship, and service to the wider community. We invite you to experience for yourself the joy and presence of God’s real and abiding love.
If you are looking for a church to call home, we would love to have you with us.
