welcoming and joyful in worship, and inspiring and loving in our ministry to children....."
We are a small, welcoming and busy church at the foot of the railway bridge in Hightown; very much a part of the local community. Eucharistic worship, every Sunday at 10.30am, is "middle of the road" and there are alternative worship opportunities: BCP (Book of Common Prayer) Evensong every Sunday at 6.00pm. There's a mid-week communion service which is quiet and prayerful. There's a monthly 'All-age' service which features our band. Children are welcome and we don't mind noise!
Enquirers and Nurture courses are run regularly. New members and visitors are always given a special welcome. St. Stephen's Youth Club meets every Friday in term-time at 6.00pm in the Church Hall.
We have a large and excellent, well-equipped parish hall, which is available to hire.
St. Stephen's has a friendly and inclusive feel, which comes from the warmth and enthusiasm of its people.
If you haven't already, why not give us a try?
