Welcome to Saint Stephen's City church Bristol
Saint Stephen’s is an ancient church at the heart of Bristol's Old City. It aspires to be a community which gathers people together; a place for those with faith, those searching and those with none. ‘Reconnecting us to God and Connecting others to God'.

LUNCHTIME CONCERTS
November's Lunchtime Live program continues with a visit from The Gloucester Waites on Monday 18th November. They are the official ensemble for civic ceremonies for the city of Gloucester, full of costumed-up folkloric pageantry and sounds of yore. They were great fun last year. The week after, on 25th November we welcome (back) Avellana, who are Simon Greening Alto/soprano sax and Paul Mahon guitar. Over the last several years they've become established in Bristol as respected exponents of lesser known lyrical modern jazz pieces from the 1960s by such composers as Wayne Shorter. Click here for the full November program.

Eco Church Bronze Award
Saint Stephen's has been awarded a Bronze award assessed against the A Rocha Eco Church scheme which offers an assessment of what we do as a church towards being sustainable and environmentally conscious. Exciting as it is to have the work that is in place acknowledged, the scheme also indicates what else we can do, and we will be working towards being an even more responsible and engaged community in this area during 2022.
