Welcome Committee


Our Welcome Committee at St. Stephen's is a devoted group of parishioners on a mission to connect with and embrace new members. We prioritize building personal relationships, extending invites to special events, and fostering a warm, loving fellowship within our Valley Center community. Following Jesus' commandment, we wholeheartedly welcome all, inviting them to make St. Stephen's their cherished spiritual home.

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2)

Our Aim

We want to greet all new parishioners and visitors with a warm sense of welcome and invite them to engage with the community and call St. Stephen "home".
