success stories around the diocese and beyond
When you peek in behind the walls of St. Stephen’s large campus in the middle of Hollywood you find a children’s wonderland -A hidden gem in the heart of Hollywood! Delaney Wright Fine Arts Preschool is an offering of St. Stephen's that capitalizes on their excellent location, expansive campus, and availability Monday-Friday. This offering of the church provides a vital service to the community while tuition from the school helps to keep the church strong and sustainable for its other ministries.
The Hope Garden at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Hollywood was the result of extended activism and advocacy from the parish and local community. With help from then council-member Eric Garcetti, a bountiful, beautiful source of food and green-space for the neighborhood grew in place of a derelict alley. Maintained in partnership with the Diocese’ Seeds of Hope ministry. The Hope Garden serves as a beautiful space for community to sustainably grow.
The vision of a few members of the choir and Bishop’s Committee, the Red Door Vineyard Guild was formed in 2011 as a ministry of the Church of the Epiphany in Oak Park, California. The Founding Members were all parishioners. Now, looking to the future, with ever-increasing knowledge of viticulture and wine production, Red Door and Church of the Epiphany welcome new members from all walks of life!
