St. Stephen’s is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC) linked to other congregations in the Ottawa area and across Canada. As part of the PCC we contribute to the mission work of the Presbyterian Church both in Canada and around the world.

We believe that we exist as a congregation to support our members and to offer Christian love and caring to the wider community. We offer an active Sunday School, a varied number of Interest Groups and many Outreach Activities.

We meet for worship every Sunday at 10am. Long time friends and visitors are all welcome!

Our church operates through the significant volunteer efforts of many people. We also have a small number of paid staff who provide worship leadership, administration support, music leadership, and custodian services.
