St Stephen gives 5% of its income to charitable causes. We give to charities in the community, Christian causes and for emergencies. To foster a strong link between our community and the charities we support we have invited them to talk to the congregation in the past few months and we'll continue to do so.
Our support helps community organisations grow here in Westminster, allows Christian charities to thrive and responds to international emergencies such as natural disasters and the climate emergency. We are bringing some of the charities we support to Church, to connect with our community. This will strengthen the relationship between us and inspire our community to support charities that share our values.
