St Stephen's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Columbus stands at the corner of Woodruff Avenue and High Street, next to the Ohio State University campus, and belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio. Sunday worship includes an early service (8 a.m. during the academic year, shifting to 8:30 a.m. in summer) and a 10:30 a.m. service held year-round; seasonal times change, so confirm on the website. The liturgy follows Episcopal tradition, with attention to sacred music, the arts and poetry, and preaching that draws on a range of voices. The 10:30 service is livestreamed on YouTube. On Wednesdays, midday prayer and Bible study at 12:15 p.m. is followed by a shared lunch.

Children's Church meets during the 10:30 service, with children returning for Communion, and a nursery for ages five and under opens at 10:15 a.m. A youth group for sixth grade and up meets every other Sunday together with a partner parish, and a young adult ministry serves college students and people in their twenties. Other offerings include a monthly book club, a knitting group, a potluck on the last Sunday of each month, weekly centering prayer on Zoom, a monthly journaling workshop and labyrinth walks. The parish works with Neighborhood Services, Inc., the BREAD justice network and the OSU Interfaith Council. Newcomers interested in membership can take a four-week inquirer's class.
