We are thrilled to announce that Stephens House has found a new facility at Bethany Lutheran Church on Bainbridge Island. This move represents a significant milestone for Stephens House, as we transition from our current location at Eagle Harbor Church to a new environment.

Situated beneath Bethany Lutheran, in proximity to their preschool, our new location offers convenient access and parking. Upstairs, the church offers Stephens House to do activities in their fellowship hall and to continue cooking lunch in their kitchen space, to sing, and to do yoga on Wednesdays. Outside, the facility have an outdoor area, ideal for grilling and eating lunch during the warmer months, complemented by a big lawn surrounding the church. These outdoor areas provide opportunities for picnics and outdoor games.

The new facility spans approximately 1,300 square feet and encompasses various rooms designated to cater to diverse interests and needs of our members. These include dedicated spaces for arts and crafts, music, low sensory activities, relaxation, office space, and social gatherings. This relocation represents an exciting chapter in the journey of Stephens House, and we look forward to welcoming our members to our new home and to join Bethany Lutheran's wonderful community.

BISNF will move to the new facility on August 8th. The first day of operations will be Monday August 12th.

We are grateful for the support of volunteers who will assist with the move on weekday evenings and weekends, ensuring continuity of our programs and services. Please let us know if you would be available to support Stephens House with painting, organizing or packing.

Lastly, we want to thank Eagle Harbor Church for accommodating our day program for so many years. First for letting us rent the white house on Winslow Way and later to let us rent the classroom beneath the church. It has served us well and it allowed us to grow! We will miss Eagle Harbor Church and the wonderful people working there. Thank you!
