Children & Families

There’s no age limit to being a member of Jesus’ church, so we do our best to centre children in all that we do. We love the noise, the mess, and being a vibrant church family made up of lots of different ages!

Whether you are looking for a Sunday home or fun mid-week toddler groups, you and your little ones are so welcome here.

Bethan Craner is our Children & Families Pastor.

RENEWAL PROJECT

We are praying tenaciously for a revival of Christian faith in Redditch and beyond.

Conversations started back in March 2023 that place St Stephen’s Redditch at the centre of a regional strategy for renewal in the Anglican church. The rubber is hitting the road now and so beginning in autumn 2024 we’re going to experience some flux.
