Hope is a wonderful thing – but few things are more crushing than when our hopes are disappointed. A hope worth having needs to be true; to deliver what it promises; and to be for something that will last. That's what the Christian faith claims to offer: a hope worth having. Real hope is a joyful expectation for the future, based on true events in the past, which changes everything about my present.

Join us over 3 Wednesday evenings, offering the chance to explore the Christian hope with others in a relaxed setting.Wednesday 4th, 11th and 18th November 2026, 8-9.30pm at St Stephen's

Stay & Play is a group for parents and carers and their babies and toddlers. Each week we have toys, craft, snack, story time and songs.

We meet at St Stephen's Church on Fridays during term time from 10:00am-11:30am. Cost is £2.00 per household.

booking ahead is no longer necessary.

We appreciate help wherever possible and ask that adults help wipe down some of the toys at the end of each session and help tidy up before snack time.
- Snack is prepared and shared in a safe way. If your child has any dietary concerns, feel free to bring your own and please bring your child their own drink.

Each service features clear and relevant Bible teaching, prayers and songs.

There are various groups for children and young people, ages 0-18.
All of our services have free, online live translation available into hundreds of languages.

We continue to live-stream our 10am Services. Please click on "More about this event" below to visit our website and join in.

We will be playing lots of games, making things and hearing about how God became small.
If you are in preschool or primary school - come, and bring your whole family.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Great adventures begin with a map - and this mysterious map promises courage, quests and secrets.

As storms close in and trust is tested, Jem must decide between gold and glory or the people around her. This imaginative retelling of Treasure Island is packed with original music, humour and heart. Jump aboard and join Jem
on her epic quest to discover the greatest treasure of all.
