In- Person Worship

Welcome Back, St. Stephen!

St. Stephen has officially opened for weekly Sunday service. If in person, there is no on-line registration. It is open to everyone. You will be required to sign in when you arrive. You must wear a mask covering nose and mouth at all times. If you don’t attend in person, we can still be seen on facebook or you can call the conference call number and listen in.

If you, a family member or a friend, contract Covid19, please notify the church by emailing adminoffice@ststephenchicago.org. If you have specific contact information of the infected person(s), we will notify those who have been in direct contact with them.
