About Us

Soak - See - Scatter - Serve

St Stephen’s is located in Sneinton just a short walking distance from the city centre. We celebrate a growing anglo-catholic congregation alongside a contemporary intercultural worshipping community. As a church we would like to see a Soaking of the Spirit amongst one another through prayer and worship. We also want to be attentive to Seeing where God is at work among our community and follow His vision for Sneinton. As such we believe in the Scattering or proclamation of the good news of Christ amongst those we love or come into contact with in order to bless and build relationships with those around us. Finally, we wish to Serve. We have a desire to serve God and to serve the people of Sneinton so that many may know Jesus and be impacted by His love.

You are very welcome to join us at any of our services - we would love to see you! We regularly meet on Thursdays and Sundays at 9:30am when the services follow a more traditional pattern. At 11am on Sundays we meet with a more contemporary style of worship

There are a whole range of activities each week - for example if you’d like to find out more about our Children’s work click on ‘Children’ above where you can see our weekly activities. Here’s a little taster from our 2025 Summer Holiday Club!

Ensuring that children, young people and vulnerable adults are kept safe whilst in our care is an integral part of our church life.
