Stephen Sornborger was a Methodist circuit rider.

Sornborger was accepted on trial as a circuit rider in 1807 by the New York Conference, and assigned to the Fletcher Circuit in Vermont. This was followed in 1808 with an appointment to the Brandon Circuit. In 1809 he was ordained a deacon, and assigned to the Cambridge Circuit, followed by the Charlotte Circuit in 1810. In 1811 he volunteered to be assigned to Canada and was sent to the Dunham Circuit of Lower Canada. Here he was the senior rider on the circuit, working alongside Timothy Minor. The 1812 Conference expelled him from the conference reasons unstated.
