At St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church, we recognize the need to proclaim openly that the gospel is God’s gift to all people to be shared unconditionally.

As a community aspiring to be a spiritual home for all God’s people, we welcome all persons, without exception, without regard for age, race, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, financial or family status, physical or mental abilities, or any other human distinction used to discriminate and exclude. We strive to make antiracist choices and work toward racial equity in all areas of our life together.

St Stephen’s Lutheran Church believes that all couples should have the right to marry and the Pastor is able to do weddings for all couples.

We gather within the traditional homelands of the Bah-Kho-je, Meskwaki, and Sauk nations. Weakened by war, disease, dependency on trade goods, and debts they could not pay, these nations were pressured into ceding these lands to the United States of America, and forcibly removed to reservations in Kansas and Nebraska. To avoid this fate, some Meskwaki went into hiding until they were able to return to Tama County in 1857 where they began the process of buying back their homeland and rebuilding their nation. We seek to honor them, and their love of this land.

5 days until we get to be together in celebration.

Can you believe we are a little over a week for the big 75th anniversary celebration? It's going to be a great day. Watch for all the photos next week showing how much FUN we have when we are together. Have a great weekend.

As some members have been known to say, "St Stephen's can do food".

Just 3 weeks before the big 75th Anniversary Celebration. Join us for some much needed Fellowship with others that share our Mission. Enjoy these photos of Fellowship over the years here at St Stephen's.
