St. Stephen's is a Christian community made up of people who support, encourage and care for each other, in their desire to know God better.

St Stephen's Anglican Church buildings are on the corner of Kenley Rd and Pennant Hills Rd, Normanhurst, a suburb of Sydney, Australia.

Our Vision

St Stephen's Normanhurst is a loving, supportive Christian community, faithfully and prayerfully living and proclaiming the gospel in our local community and beyond, so that every person may know Christ and become mature in Christ.

St. Stephen's members seek to fulfil our vision as we meet together regularly, to build up and encourage one another. God's Word, the Bible, is central to our life together. In addition to our regular Sunday gatherings, we take the opportunity to meet also in small groups during the week for learning, prayer, mutual encouragement and support. We are eager that we all grow in our understanding of God's Word and how it applies to our daily lives.

Our church community is made up of people of different ages, backgrounds and interests. Some have been Christians for a long time; others are new in the faith or taking a fresh look at what they believe. We appreciate the unique contribution of each of our members.
