A Message from Revd Libby Talbot, Vicar of St Stephen’s 

“Whilst the 150th Anniversary of St Stephen’s Church invites us to honour and celebrate all that God has done in the past, it also calls us to look forward with faith, hope and anticipation of all that the Holy Spirit is doing and will do as we Love God, Grow Disciples and Transform Communities.

We hope that many of you will join us in celebration and prayer, expectant of what God will continue to do among us.”

For over 150 years, St Stephen’s has been a place of worship, welcome and witness in East Twickenham. From its beginnings in a small 18th-century chapel, the church has grown alongside the community. The cornerstone of the current building was laid in 1875, with services beginning the following year in 1876—and the ministry has continued to flourish ever since. 

Throughout its history, St Stephen’s has become a vibrant spiritual home for people of all ages. From children to seniors, the church offers a rich variety of ministries encompassing worship, prayer, family life, pastoral care, and outreach both locally and globally and much more. New facilities such as the Crossway Centre and the Spring extension have supported this growth, helping to create a church that remains deeply rooted in tradition while alive with faith today. 

As we celebrate 150 years, we give thanks for all God has done—and we look forward in faith to all he has in store as we continue to Love God, Grow Disciples, and Transform Communities.
