However, for those attending on-campus worship, there will be wall mounted safes located beside the doorway entrances that lead into the worship center, across all campuses. You may place your offering in the wall mounted safe “before” you enter the worship center or upon “exiting” the worship center, and the trustees will pick it up. At the Louisville campus, You may also place your offering inside of the door slot of the Trustee Room.
“St.Stephen is a church filled with the love of Christ. A place where you can truly come as you are. I feel like I belong, and I feel valued knowing there are many ministries helping the community. Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby leads the church in such a powerful and inspiring way.”
"St Stephen is not only a place of worship - it is a place of formation. The teaching does not ask you to shrink; it invites you to think, to grow, and expand into the fullness of who god has called you to be. it cultivates believers who are both spiritually grounded and intellectually engaged."
"I can honestly say i'mn better because of this church. NOT Perfect - but better, stronger, and more grounded. if you're looking for a place that will pour into you and push you to become who you're called to be.. this is that place."
