Grace and St. Stephen Episcopal Church |
Grace and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church was the first Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs and is the mother church of all Episcopal parishes in the Pikes Peak region. Formally organized in 1873 as a parish in the Missionary District of Colorado under the ecclesiastic authority of the Bishop of Colorado and his successors in office, Grace Episcopal Church was first erected on land donated by the city’s founder, General William Jackson Palmer. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church was organized some 20 years later and built at the corner of Tejon St. and Monument Avenue (currently the Parish Hall). In 1923 the two parishes merged to become Grace and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and commissioned the Late English Gothic church building, which was dedicated in 1929 to the jurisdiction and authority of the Bishop of Colorado and his successors in office.
The church is the second largest Episcopal Church in the Diocese of
Colorado, and is a wonderful venue for choral music.Grace and St. Stephen's is located at 601 North Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.
