Do join us for this said service of communion. This is a small, friendly community where we get to fully enjoy the beauty of the church first thing in the morning.
Our choir meets every Sunday morning at 8:30am, and then, for those that wish, stay to sing at our 9.30am service. So if you sing, or would like to give it a go, why not head down to church and be part of this lovely and friendly community?
The choir is likely to take a break during school holidays - do get in touch for more information.
Do join us for this friendly, dignified service of communion. Whether this is your first time, or you are returning after time away, or have been coming to church for some time, a warm welcome awaits.
hildren are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!
Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.
For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!
After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!
Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!
On during term time. In the holiday, activities are provided for our children within the service, and yes, we like their noise!
The Church of England is in every community, and has been helping people mark the significant moments of life for generations.
Christenings are a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of a child - do get in touch to explore it more and book the date for this very special celebration!
“Thank you so much for the lovely christening….Everyone said how brilliant and calm and interesting [it was] – so thank you for making it perfect” Emily
“thank you so much for the beautiful christening service you delivered on Sunday…. [it] couldn’t have gone any better. Everybody said what a lovely service it was, full of energy” Ben
We offer Christenings (or baptisms if you or your child is older) in our 9.30am service or at 11.15am. More details on our website.
With the sunshine (hopefully!) here to stay, our friendly toddler group, Tots & Tales, is heading out and about for the summer months.
Together we'll be exploring some of the wonderful family-friendly places in and around Altrincham; from local parks and playgrounds to welcoming cafés, and perhaps even a trip to the beach if the weather is on our side!
Each week we'll keep an eye on the forecast and announce our next destination on Sunday evenings via our social media channels, so be sure to follow along for the latest updates.
Whether you're a regular at Tots & Tales or thinking of joining us for the first time, we'd love to welcome you. It's a great opportunity for little ones to play and explore, while parents, grandparents and carers enjoy friendly company and conversation.
Come along, make new friends, and enjoy a summer of adventures with us!

We are delighted to have established a Children’s Choir ‘Alty Trebles’ held in school on a Monday afternoon: in other words, we’re offering free musical tuition that will last your child a lifetime!
Music is an integral part of our life at St George’s. We have seen many examples of how a good musical education has changed the lives for young people for the better. Rev. Claire remembers her time at Bradford Cathedral, when she and her husband saw many of the young choristers form wonderful communities and then go to prestigious Universities on Choral Scholarships – a journey that started in Primary School. We are very keen that pupils from our Parish have the same opportunities.
Therefore, our choir will be fun, it will be developing teamwork at a young age, and giving each child the experience of that buzz as their voices harmonise with each other. Our choir is focused on teaching our pupils how to sing properly, how to read music, and for those that want it, they will be fully prepared to sit the relevant ABRSM exams; setting them up for any musical adventure that they want to peruse in secondary school.
Lots more information on our website - come and be part of it!
During Term Time only. We also encourage our children to sing in our main choir on a Sunday morning at 8.30am too.

Lent is a season to slow down, ask deeper questions, and make space for God. Whether you've been reading the Bible for years or have never really known where to begin, we'd love you to join us as we journey together through John's Gospel.
John's account of Jesus is full of memorable encounters, searching conversations and powerful images; from water turned into wine and the raising of Lazarus to the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life and the Light of the World. Together we'll explore what these stories meant then, what they mean today, and how they continue to shape our own lives and faith.
You don't need any prior knowledge, and there are no questions you can't ask. Come as you are, listen, share if you'd like to, and discover afresh one of the Bible's most beautiful and thought-provoking books.
Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or looking to deepen an existing faith, there's a place for you. We'd love to welcome you.
As we journey through Holy Week, the self guided Stations of the Cross offer an opportunity to walk prayerfully alongside Jesus on his journey to the cross.
Moving from station to station, you are invited to reflect on the final events of Jesus' life through scripture, prayer and silence. It is a simple but powerful way of entering more deeply into the Easter story, helping us to pause, reflect and encounter afresh the love, sacrifice and hope at the heart of the Christian faith.
Whether this is a familiar devotion or your first experience of it, you are warmly invited to be part of it.
There is no need to know what to expect—simply come as you are and allow yourself the time and space to reflect during this most holy week.
There are a variety of books to help guide you through each station should you wish to use them.
oly Week is the week leading up to Easter; a time when Christians across the world remember the final days of Jesus' life and prepare for the celebration of Easter Day.
Alongside our main services, we're offering two additional spoken Eucharists. Lasting around 30 minutes, these simple, quiet services offer a chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life, hear a short Bible reading, share in prayer and, for those who wish, receive Holy Communion.
Whether church is a regular part of your life or you're simply curious to experience Holy Week for yourself, you'd be very welcome.
There is no expectation to know what to do or say - just come as you are, take a seat, and allow yourself a few moments of peace and reflection in the middle of your week.
