New website coming soon

We are designing a new website to help us share lots of information about the life of the church community here in Stapleton.
Thank you for your patience as we plan, gather, write, photograph, edit and layout all the most helpful content.
In the meantime here are some key details about our life as a church family.

 

Holy Trinity Church in Stapleton

We are a friendly community of local people, learning to trust and follow Jesus together.
We host different groups and activities for the people of Stapleton during the week.
And we gather on Sunday mornings in the church building with the spire at the top of Bell Hill. Everyone is welcome.

New Vicar

Rev Vicky Wicks is now working with a small team to lead Holy Trinity into this next chapter of church life.

She and her husband Rob recently moved to Stapleton from St Michael’s Church, Stoke Gifford.

Vicky’s passion is for people to feel welcome, to meet Jesus and to find a place to belong. Lots of her work for the church seems to involve sharing good food.

Ukraine Hub
Support for Ukranians in Stapleton. We gather for a meal once a month on a Monday from 1700 to 1900 in the church hall. We share time together and provide details of services and organisations that help Ukranians settle into the UK. If you are Ukrainian, or you know someone who would value this kind of support please contact administrator@holytrinitystapleton.org.uk

Prayer
We regularly gather to pray as a church family, in person and online. And the church building is open for quiet and prayer from 1000 to 1600 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and all day on Sundays.

Lighting the Spire

The spire of Holy Trinity Church is visible from a long way away. When it’s lit it’s even more visible! If you would like to have the spire lit for a special occasion – to mark an anniversary for example – we can light it for you on your specified date. There’s a small charge for this that goes towards the upkeep of the church. Please email administrator@holytrinitystapleton.org.uk if you’re interested.

Safeguarding

Keeping everyone safe is an absolute priority at Holy Trinity. Our safeguarding policy applies to every area of church life, with a particular focus on the safety of children and vulnerable adults.

If you have any concerns or questions around issues of safety or possible risks of abuse, or if you would like to read our safeguarding policy, please contact the parish safeguarding officer:
Sheena Helyer
07766 708396

You can also access resources and advice from the Diocese of Bristol safeguarding team.
