The Episcopal Student Center at SHSU, in partnership with St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Texas, is a place of spiritual refuge for students, faculty and staff. Our mission is to share our faith, hope and joy in the gospel and to promote spiritual growth, to touch the lives of those around us, and to reach out to those in need through our service of the Lord.

On Sunday, the Spiritual Formation and Bible programs provide you an opportunity to deepen your relationship with Christ through mutual support, encouragement and accountability with Bible exploration and student-led and student-designed programs on prayer, spirituality and personal witness. We begin with a dinner prepared by all of us and close the evening with a student-led Compline.
On Wednesday, the Eucharist is followed by a parish-furnished dinner.
On Thursday, students organize game and activity nights at ESC and we play a variety of games—from Wii to board games to dominoes.
