S. Stephen’s Church is host to the Epiphany Soup Kitchen, an independent nonprofit corporation, which serves people in need from Providence and surrounding areas. On Saturdays from 3:30 to 5 pm, all are welcome to enjoy a hot meal in the Great Hall of our Guild House. We also occasionally offer free, clean, gently-used clothing to our guests.
S. Stephen’s is an Episcopal church located on Providence’s College Hill in the midst of Brown University. We stand in the tradition of Anglo-Catholicism, a movement emphasizing God’s continuing presence in our lives through the liturgy and Sacraments, and the spiritual unity of the Church in all times and places. Our chief focus is worship, which demands the very best we can offer – intellectually, musically, and artistically. At the same time, we are committed to serving the communities around us: from the university, to our neighborhood, city, and state, to all those in need.
