About St Stephens Episcopal Church
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Beckley welcomes all people regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. The parish celebrates the ancient liturgical traditions of the Episcopal Church while making worship accessible to newcomers through printed bulletins and the Book of Common Prayer. Sunday services are offered in two formats: a quiet, contemplative Rite I service at 8:00 a.m. in traditional language, and a Rite II service at 9:30 a.m. that maintains traditional liturgy with contemporary language, hymns, and organ music. The Eucharist is central to worship, and the church emphasizes engaging the whole person—body and senses—through movement, music, and participation. Children are warmly welcomed and invited to communion, and the parish offers children's bulletins and quiet toys for young worshippers. Following services, visitors are invited to join the community for refreshments and fellowship.
