Our church was organized on St. Stephen’s Day, December 26, 1811. Planning for building an Episcopal church in Middlebury began in 1815.

St. Stephen’s has hosted some distinguished visiting preachers, who have been both forthcoming and inspiring on social and religious issues. Bishop Paul Moore, for instance, raised both roof and social consciousness with his rousing sermon at the 175th anniversary of the church in 2002.

Today the parish is building on its strong sense of faith and community, and we “look expectantly to a new day.”
