Welcome to Saint Stephen’s
St Stephen’s is the Church of England Parish Church of Tivoli, Cheltenham, in the Diocese of Gloucester, The church was built in 1873 as a Chapel of Ease to Christ Church, to cater especially for the poor working folk of Tivoli. It is a grade II* listed building by the architect John Middleton. It originally consisted of what is today the Choir and Sanctuary area, but due to its popularity it was extended to its present dimensions by 1883. The interior of the church is far more impressive than its exterior appearance might suggest and is well worth a visit.
It is one of five churches in the South Cheltenham Team Ministry and is the smallest parish in the Cheltenham Deanery.
The friendly congregation at St Stephen’s welcomes visitors to all our services. We rejoice in the knowledge that God works through those He has called to be his disciples, and count it a privilege to work for Him in this parish, in this town and through the worldwide Church.

Prayers and Well-being
A Prayer for Daily Use
Lord Jesus Christ,
you taught us how to love our neighbour,
and to care for those in need as if we were caring for you.
In this time of anxiety,
give us strength to comfort the fearful,
to tend the sick,
and to assure the isolated of our love,
and especially your love. Amen.
A Prayer for Hospital Staff and Medical Researchers
Gracious God,
give skill, sympathy and resilience
to all who are caring for the sick,
and your wisdom to those searching for a cure.
Strengthen them with your Spirit,
that through their work many will be restored to health,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
