Who we are
St. Stephen’s is the Church of England parish church in South Tonbridge. We are affiliated to the New Wine Network and strive to be:
• Biblical: we believe that the Bible is inspired by God and is therefore the basis of all our teaching.
• Spirit led: we believe that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit and look expectantly for his work in our lives.
• Christ-centred: we believe that we are to live Christ-centred, God honouring, prayerful lives individually and as a church.
Our purpose statement: St. Stephen’s seeks to be a church that is:-
Powered by the presence of God and shaped for the purposes of God.
These purposes are:
• To glorify God and minister in the power of the Holy Spirit – worship
• To serve others with the compassion, grace and generosity of Jesus – ministry
• To proclaim the good news of Jesus through words, work, and witness – evangelism
• To build a Christ-centred community that welcomes and accepts all – fellowship
• To grow in faith, love and knowledge of God and in the character of Jesus - discipleship

St Stephen's Church Tonbridge Service Times
Throughout the month we have a varied programme of family and celebration services, Holy Communion and baptism and thanksgiving services. Most Sundays have three services at St Stephen's.
Sunday 7.45am
Holy Communion
A traditional service using the Book of Common Prayer, without music.
Sunday 10.30am
Morning worship, Holy Communion or all-age service
A more informal, lively service, popular with families. About one service a month includes Holy Communion. The music is led by a small group of musicians and features contemporary worship songs with occasional well-known hymns. The congregation is invited to stay for coffee after the service.
Sunday 6.30pm
The Evening Service, occasionally with Holy Communion
A contemporary service with worship, led by a small band, teaching and ministry. Multimedia is often used as part of The Evening Service. Refreshments are served before and after this service.
As a fairly informal church, we tend not to follow a liturgy (the set services from the Church of England service book), except for Communion. All our services are Bible-based.
