Welcome!
to Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church, an historic community of faith in Newton, Iowa.

St. Stephen's has been providing a spiritual home for more than 140 years. We're a small but growing group of Christians who learn together, support each other, and grow in our faith together.

We gather here to worship, sing, and hear God's word. We offer our needs and our joys to God in prayer, and we believe God hears them. We gather here to be refreshed and renewed and then go out from this place as living bearers of God's love.

We invite you to join us any time!
