Worship Arts Ministry
Worship Arts at St. Stephen are always centered on God. We use our gifts and talents to bring honor and glory to Jesus Christ. From children through adults the emphasis is on praising God, not ourselves. Whether your gift is singing, playing an instrument, dance, computer technology, reading dramatically, or other arts, we encourage everyone to use their unique gifts in service and ministry.
