About St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

The people of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Santa Clarita, have been reflecting the Light of Christ since 1963. St. Stephen's parish is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, and the Episcopal Church of  The United States - ECUSA -

We’re known as a community that’s grounded by tradition, striving for justice for all people and growing in our understanding of faith.  We welcome all people, whoever they are and wherever they are in their spiritual journey. 

​At the core of our existence is a commitment to our baptismal vows to “seek and serve Christ in all persons” to “strive for justice and peace among all people” and to “respect the dignity of every human being”. We welcome with open arms people of all ages, races, ethnicities, economic status, sexual and gender identities. This is a safe and sacred space for all in the community and that certainly includes you!

​Our belief system is rooted firmly in a thoughtful combination of scripture, tradition and reason. Keeping these in balance helps us work together to proclaim God's unconditional love for all people as we navigate the complexities of life and contend with the inevitable questions that arise on a dynamic journey of faith.

​Our mission is to be a loving and inclusive community bringing people to unity with God and each other in Christ through relationship, prayer, worship and service. We’re called to love our neighbors as ourselves and to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all people as we work, pray and give for the fulfillment of God's realm.

Community life is anchored by our Sunday worship experience with services at 7:45AM and 10:30AM, and our beloved St. Stephen’s Preschool which operates Monday through Friday and welcomes all children regardless of religion, race, national origin, ancestry or family configuration. Basic Judeo-Christian values of love, acceptance, and inclusiveness are lived out by everyone at the preschool.

Our staff members are trained in the field of Early Childhood Education. The longevity of our staff provides continuity from year to year as we offer a nurturing environment where children can grow and flourish.
