Vision & Values

Three friends together at sunset
We seek to be a thriving community of missionary disciples, empowered by the Holy Spirit to worship God passionately, follow Jesus faithfully, love one another radically, and share hope courageously, in Redditch and to the ends of the earth.

Christian faith and witness have radiated from St Stephen’s for nearly 900 years. Our longing is to see the same biblically rooted and Holy Spirit enabled faith will flow out of St Stephen’s in these days, so this generation might encounter the life changing hope of Jesus. We are praying tenaciously for a revival of Christian faith in Redditch and beyond.

We are EVANGELICAL meaning we place particular emphasis upon the authority of the bible, the saving work of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, personal conversion and life long sanctification, and the active momentum of the gospel beyond the church community. Read more here.
