Missions

St. Stephen's is heavily involved throughout the world.

We give thanks to Christ that he has allowed us the privilege of sending teams and aid to so many different places. The three major areas where we send teams each year are: Sierra Leone, Honduras and Russia.  These teams go and come at different times throughout the year. Why not join us for the next work mission?

Hearts to Honduras and Schools for Children of the World

Kathy Thorpe
Join us this year for a life-changing week.

In July, St. Stephen's sends a team to work with the poorest schools in Honduras. They work with the communities, carrying school supplies, and they work with the schools in refurbishing school rooms.

Russia

We continue to work with Pyatagorsk, Russia - with their seminary, schools, and  community in building relationships together, and in serving one another. Teams travel to Russia one - two times each year.
