WELCOME TO SAINT STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH,

An historic community of faith in Newton, Iowa for 150 years.

We’re a small, faithful and growing group of Christians who learn together, support each other and grow in our Faith together We gather here to worship, to sing, and to hear God’s word.

We gather here to offer our needs and our joys before God, and to have them heard. We gather here to be refreshed and renewed, and then go out from this place as living bearers of God’s love.

St. Stephen’s is steeped in history. Our worship is rooted in anglo-catholic tradition, the building is on the National Register of Historic Places (added in 1977), and the church is the oldest church in Jasper County in continual use for worship services. The first worship service in the church building was on April 19, 1874.

A wheelchair is available.

We invite you to worship with us any time.

Lectionary Study - Book Study -

October’s book study choice-”The Women” by Kristin Hanna

“The Women” is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.

October 14 Book Club will be at 9:30 a.m.
