St Paul's Church Stalybridge

We are a thriving Anglican church just outside the centre of Stalybridge. Our mission is that through the love of Jesus we seek to be a church who: extends welcome and hospitality to everyone; loves God with all our heart and others as ourselves, and invites the transforming power of God’s Holy Spirit to be at work in our lives and community.

You are so welcome to join us for worship. We have two services every Sunday, with a traditional Holy Communion at 9:00, and our main family service at 10:30.

Our congregation has a full range of ages within it from babies to ninety-year olds, from all walks and stages of life, and we love to welcome new people. We have many and varied worship, discipleship, community and social events going on throughout the year. Please visit our Facebook page for further details of upcoming events.
