Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.
We’re more than a youth group—we’re a community of students, parents and leaders, who are passionate about serving God, helping others, and making a difference in peoples lives!
About Us
Our Youth Ministry is built on three core pillars: Being in the Word, Serving our Community, and Growing in Fellowship. Through these, we seek to equip young people to know Christ deeply, live out their faith boldly, and build lasting connections with one another. We offer opportunities for Middle School (6–8th grade), High School (9–12th grade), and Young Adults (18–25) to gather, learn, and grow. Our students represent more than 19 high schools and countless middle schools, making our ministry a diverse community united by Christ. Throughout the year, we participate in retreats, service projects, and special events that strengthen faith, develop leadership, and create space for faith-filled friendships. Whether diving into Scripture, serving neighbors in need, or sharing life together, youth at St. Stephens are encouraged to make their faith their own and shine the light of Christ in the world.

Confirmation
Confirmation is part of a lifelong journey of faith, where students grow in confidence, competence, and conviction as faithful followers for life. Confirmands are even given the privilege of publicly confessing and confirming their baptismal faith and identity as a child of God before the congregation.
