About St. Stephen 

 

St. Stephen was the first Christian mentioned in the Bible to be killed because of his faith.

 

As one of the first deacons of the church, Stephen was responsible for assuring that the food and assistance of the new church were distributed to all in need: male, female, young, old, Jew, Gentile.

 

We honor that leadership and faith of St. Stephen.

The mission of St. Stephen's Lutheran Church is

TO deepen our LOVE for God and for each other;

TO INVITE others into the Good News of Jesus Christ; and TO SERVE those in need.

Lutheran Church Wilmington

As a Reconciling in Christ congregation of the ELCA, we believe that the gospel is God's gift to all people, shared unconditionally and without regard to race, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, socio-economic or family status, age, physical or mental abilities, outward appearance, or religious affiliation. We seek racial equality and justice. In this way, we live into the truth written in Ephesians (2:14)—that Christ breaks down the dividing walls between us and makes us one.
