Welcome to the website for St. Stephen's. You can discover information about our regular services, details on church gatherings and clubs, and a calendar of all activities. Click on "Church Services," then "Weddings and Baptisms" for details on how to make reservations for a baptism or a wedding. Additionally, there is a link to the online pages of the Diocese of Manchester, which provide a wealth of additional details about the Church of England and the Christian faith in general. Astley has had a church for 387 years, during which time much in society has changed, not the least of which is how we communicate with one another. The good news of Jesus Christ, after whom Christianity is called, nevertheless, never changes. The role of the church is to enable people experience the wonder and delight of a living religion while also preserving the narrative of that good news. We sincerely hope that the information you find here is useful, and if we haven't already met, we look forward to doing so soon. Rev. Martin B. Cox serves as the team rector of the Astley, Tyldesley, and Mosley Common Team Ministry.
