In order to function well, a church must have a committed staff ready to do the work God has given us to do, as well as ministry teams which work to carry out the larger mission of both St. Stephen's and the Church in general.

The Rector (known as "senior pastor" in many Christian traditions) of St. Stephen's serves as the senior ordained leader of our congregation, and leads Sunday worship. He or she is also available for pastoral care and crisis ministry.

The Reverend Stephen W. Hagerman

In August 2004, St. Stephen's welcomed the Reverend Steven W. Hagerman as the new rector of our church.  Father Hagerman and his family came to us from Riverside, Rhode Island, where he served at St. Mark's Episcopal Church since 1995.  Father Hagerman is a graduate of Southern Illinois University and the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA.  He was ordained in Chicago in 1982 and has served in parishes in Chicago, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, and in a ministry to the deaf in New York.
