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'.

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.
