Worship is the heart of our life together. Rooted in Scripture, tradition, and the rhythms of the Church year, our services draw us into God’s presence and send us out renewed to love and serve the world. Whether you’re new to liturgy or have called this your spiritual home for years, you are welcome here.
Welcome to Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church, located just off Main Street at the corner of Trinity and Fannin in Liberty, TX. Join us at 8:00 am for a quiet, contemplative service (Rite I), at 9:15 am for Christian Formation for all ages, or at 10:30 am for a family service with music (Rite II).
Entering together in song and prayer
Hearing God’s word in text and teaching
Responding in faith and lifting prayers for all
Sharing a greeting of unity and reconciliation
Receiving bread and wine as one body
Going forth to love and serve the world
Our Sunday worship is centered around the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
We offer two services each Sunday morning:
Each service follows the same basic pattern: hearing God's Word, responding in prayer, and gathering at the Altar for Holy Communion. Whether you’re new to the life of the church or returning after some time away, you’ll find a place alongside fellow pilgrims on the journey of faith.
The liturgical calendar shapes how we worship and practice our faith together, guiding us through seasons of anticipation, celebration, and renewal.
At Saint Stephen’s, we mark holy days like Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost, and All Saints' with festal services and food-centered gatherings. We also observe more solemn occasions such as Lent and Advent, as well as fast days like Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Together, these moments create an annual cycle of commemoration that shapes us into Christlikeness as we keep sacred time together.
In the Episcopal Church, we recognize two great sacraments given by Christ, Baptism and the Holy Eucharist, as well as five other sacramental rites.
Full initiation into the Christian faith through water and the Spirit, open to all ages.
A sacred meal of bread and wine in which Christ is truly present, shared by all baptized Christians.
A reaffirmation of baptismal vows and strengthening by the Holy Spirit, administered by a bishop.
Endowing those who are so called with the grace and power to serve as bishops, priests, and deacons.
A lifelong, spiritual union of two people, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church.
A private rite of confession and forgiveness, offering healing and renewed relationship with God.
Prayer and anointing for healing or comfort, especially for the sick or dying.
