Some of our folk have been with us since they were born, and others have only recently joined us since they were born, and everyone else has joined us along the way. While a small group, we are diverse in experience, age, tradition, outlook, faith and taste.
We are always happy to welcome people to come and join with us, and always somewhat surprised when we find that people come along and stay with us.
We are situated at the end of Chadderton, but NOT in Manchester as the locals will tell you! We are a changing parish, with lots of new people joining us, and many wanting to explore their Christian faith more deeply. We aim to provide lively and meaningful worship that enables people to come as they are but not to go without the opportunity to be transformed by meeting with Jesus. We hope that we as a family can be of service in that process, and while we may sometimes get it wrong, we are all on the same journey and would love to walk with you if you are interested in meeting with us.
Most importantly, we want to assure you that you are welcome to come and join with us. Whatever your background, or current circumstances, we hope to show you that you are loved and will find a home among us.
Monday to Friday
Thursday toddlers
We are open from 9 till 11 each Thursday during term time for play, songs, coffee and cakes and fellowship. Come along and meet with us. The vicar serves coffee and his home made banana bread, while the vicar’s wife does the singing, artwork, notices, welcome and goodbyes!

Our church hall is used on Monday afternoons and alternate Fridays and Saturdays by members of the community to meet, socialise and dance with occasional away trips organised by Frank and Hilda, members of our congregation. Please contact Frank directly on 0161 681 8624.

After yesterday’s performance in the USA, I got to thinking.
We literally have a biblical mandate to pray for our elected officials, even if you didn’t vote for them or don’t particularly like them. Even more than that, if you consider them your enemy, the Bible goes a giant step further, we aren’t just asked to pray for them, but we have a command from Jesus himself to LOVE them.
Read this: “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5.
Of all the teachings of Christ, I know I struggle with this one more than most.
God bless y’all.
