Author: Father Stephen

Father Stephen started serving as the rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on January 10, 2020. Prior to that position he served as priest-in-charge in Miles City and Forsyth, Montana. He is originally from West Virginia and has experience in youth ministry, mission work and more.

Exciting Opportunity!


St. Stephen’s has been asked by the Diocese of Montana to consider hosting or co-hosting Diocesan Convention in October 2021.  This is a wonderful opportunity for us to welcome the people of our diocese to our town and share it with them.  We are exploring the idea of co-hosting the convention with St. Luke’s as a great opportunity to collaborate and share our gifts.  St. Stephen’s vestry is interested in this possibility and wants to see what you think.  We will need a small number of people to work on a task force to get things going, working alongside a similar group from St. Luke’s.  Diocesan Convention hasn’t been in Billings since 2014, so it is past time for us to take a turn.  


Please prayerfully consider the idea of us co-hosting convention and if you might be willing to help coordinate things.  If you are interested or have some thoughts to share, please reach out to me via email (stephend79@gmail.com).
