Welcome to the premiere edition of the

St. Stephen Business Directory!

Inside these pages we have provided contact information on established businesses with a longstanding history and a reputation for serving our community.  In addition, we have included emerging businesses that need the support of our community to help them achieve higher levels of success.

The Book of Ruth (4:7) tells us that in Israel businessmen handled official business regarding matters of property and inheritance with one man taking off his shoe and giving it to the other person. This act served as an official seal or personal signature. Boaz sealed his business agreement as kinsman-redeemer by giving his shoe to a relative of Ruth’s deceased husband.

Obviously our Directory is not a shoe, but we are distributing it as a symbol of our covenant to support community businesses. By supporting one another, we enter into a strong partnership that will not only benefit individual residents and entrepreneurs, but will enhance and strengthen our community as a whole. Therefore, we encourage you to use the contact information provided and to share it with others.  

Sincerely, 

Dr. Kevin W. Cosby

Senior Pastor
