Newcomer Ministry Team

Invite team will think strategically about our parish publicity and spread the word about events at St. Stephen’s. Welcome team will extend a warm personal welcome to newcomers and prepare our physical space and written material to be more newcomer friendly. Connect team will follow up with newcomers by listening to their stories, learning about their own gifts for ministry, and intentionally walking with them as they become more connected into the St. Stephen’s community.
