======================= OUR VISION =========================
“To continue to be a growing church, reaching out to welcome in all people, through the love of God”.
=============================================================
St. Paul's Church was built in 1844 to cater for those living on the east side of Macclesfield. Its tall spire is a landmark feature on the Macclesfield skyline.
Our membership is drawn both from our parish as well as from across Macclesfield. Consequently our small groups for worship, study, fellowship and witness are spread across the town.
We are a 'middle of the road' Church of England Church with both catholic and evangelical flavours. We have a range of regular worship options that appeal to all. See the Calendar, or Services and Events Link for full details. We use both traditional (Book of Common Prayer) and contemporary (Common Worship, Taize, Iona) forms of worship. We look forward to welcoming you to one of our services and to sharing a cup of fairly traded tea or coffee with you afterwards!
