Thank You for Celebrating 150 Years with Us!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for a joyful celebration marking 150 years of worship, witness, and community at St Stephen’s!
Over ten wonderful days, more than 2,500 people came together to worship, laugh, share stories, and dance! We listened, prayed, reconnected with old friends, made new ones, gave thanks for all that God has done, and looked forward with hope to all that is to come.
For 150 years, St Stephen’s has been a place of worship, welcome, and witness in East Twickenham — growing with the community and serving people of all ages through prayer, worship, pastoral care, and outreach.
As we give thanks for the past, we also look ahead with faith and anticipation to all that God has in store for the next season of life at St Stephen’s.

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.
