We are an inclusive parish church serving the areas of Lindley, Oakes, Salendine Nook and Marsh. We offer a variety of services, with our main Sunday morning service being a communion service with robed clergy and choir and with an active Junior Church which meets at the same time. You are welcome at any of our services or events and to contact us if you have any questions.
Our Vision: "St Stephen’s aspires to be an inclusive church celebrating and sharing the love of God, connecting with all in our community through living faith in Jesus Christ.” (launched 21 April 2024, see news item for more details)
Our parish of Lindley: St Stephen is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Leeds’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO, Rev Dick Swindell on [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor Team at [email protected]. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
