St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church
St. Stephen & the Incarnation Episcopal Church - Main Campus
AI Summary
St. Stephen and the Incarnation offers bilingual Sunday worship with an English service and a Spanish congregation called Misa Alegría (with its own Spanish choir), and is a music-forward community featuring choirs, piano/organ (the original pipe organ was restored in 2017), and occasional procession and incense. The church has a long history of progressive action in DC—one of the first integrated Episcopal congregations in the 1950s—and is openly LGBTQ-affirming (displaying pride/trans imagery and performing same-sex marriages) while also serving as a neighborhood hub that houses many nonprofits. It founded and continues to operate the Loaves & Fishes weekend and holiday meal program (serving roughly 300 meals) and offers strong pastoral care (hospital visits, home communion, healing prayers), contemplative bilingual offerings (Bethany Circle, daily virtual Compline), and a painted labyrinth for prayer. Practical offerings for visitors include livestreamed/archived services, Godly Play and supervised infant care for families, accessible facilities and limited reserved parking, and multiple spaces available for rental.
