Why St Stephen’s?
We are growing resource church with over 500 people attending every week. Our vision at St Stephen’s is to Love God, Grow Disciples and Transform Communities. Sundays are central to how we do this, as we gather across 3 services to worship God together and learn from His Word. We are passionate about: our ever-expanding youth, children’s and families' ministries; equipping each other to be Whole Life Disciples; enabling people to explore faith through Alpha; and transforming society through church planting, and various social transformation ministries. We are about to begin a new strategy process and are excited where God might lead us for the next few years.
