Benefactor Sunday

for 1 hour
St George
Church Road Altrincham, WA14 4TT, United Kingdom

Sometimes people ask, “What makes the Church of England unique?” There are many answers, but one thing that truly stands out is its rich heritage. Our traditions shape why we celebrate the seasons, why we serve our parish, and why we remain mindful that we do not exist in isolation. We are here because of those who came before us—those who generously gave their time, energy, and skills to build the vibrant church community we enjoy today.
While we strive to stay relevant to contemporary needs,
values, and styles of worship, we also deeply treasure our connection to the past.
That’s why, once a year, we dedicate Benefactor Sunday to give thanks to those who have shaped our church’s journey. Without their dedication, we simply wouldn’t be here today.
It also serves as a reminder that the future depends on us. People won’t be here unless we do our part—both to preserve our heritage and to equip the church with everything it needs to flourish in the years ahead.
We warmly invite you to join us—whether it’s your first time or you’ve been away for a while—to be part of our ongoing story.

St George

Welcome to St George's!

A place to be with God:

Express, grow and explore your faith.  We are a welcoming community of faith that seeks to honour the traditions of the church in a way that revives, refreshes and equips us for our life in the present, and helps guides us for the opportunities & challenges of the future.

A place for everyone to belong:

We are a multi-generational community, drawn from all walks of life.

During the winter months we will often talk about how we are a ‘warm’ church both in terms of the temperature, but, more importantly, in our welcome as people come explore life at St George’s at their own pace.

We welcome everyone, regardless of what age you are, how much noise you (or your children!) make. If you, or your children, have special needs we will seek to work with you to make sure that St George’s is a place you can call home too.

A living, active community:

We believe that our faith makes a difference to how we live and work. We are committed to serving our parish and beyond during the week. Do come and be part our coffee mornings, Knit & Natter & Soup Lunch – regardless of whether you come to our services or not.
