Growing in Faith
The Christian faith is a journey. We describe 'Faith Begins', our adult baptism and confirmation course at the cathedral, as 'The Christian Faith explored, discussed and enjoyed!' On the Christian journey we explore and grow deeper in our faith, hope and love. Here are some of the ways you can walk on this journey at St Stephen's and our mother church St John's Cathedral.
