St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church is an inclusive Middlebury parish entering its bicentennial year with a mission to remain awake to God through worship, learning, and service. Its church sits on the town green and connects Holy Eucharist, choir and congregational singing, meditation, children’s formation, creation care, social justice, pastoral visiting, and community grants. Worship style falls between high- and low-church Episcopal practice, tempered by informal Vermont dress.

Through September 6, the summer schedule offers Sunday Eucharist at 9:30 a.m. in church and on Zoom. Wednesday Eucharist begins at 12:15 p.m., while weekday meditation meets Monday through Friday 7:30–8:00 a.m. on Zoom. Sunday worship lasts roughly sixty to seventy-five minutes, and coffee hour follows. All seeking a deeper relationship with Christ are invited to Communion; gluten-free bread and a blessing in place of Communion are available. The building has an elevator, a wheelchair, and accessible restrooms on all three floors. Staffed nursery care is available during summer worship; program-year Godly Play meets during the regular 10:30 service, with older youth forming every other Saturday evening. Public pages do not specify parking, child check-in, secure pickup, nursery ages, volunteer screening, or the exact date and full schedule of the program-year transition.
