Come and join us at St John’s for our Candlemas Party this coming Saturday (7th February) from 5pm-7pm.

Candlemas is a special festival which celebrates Mary and Joseph taking the infant Jesus to be presented at the Temple.

We’ll be sharing food, enjoying music, there will be games for the younger members of the church and community - and there will be no charge, although donations to the church would be gratefully received.

Please join us from 5-7pm this Saturday!

St John The Baptist

St John’s is a Church of England church offering a warm and friendly welcome, taking to heart these words from Matthew’s gospel:

‘I was a stranger and you welcomed me.’ (Matthew 25)

We aim to offer God worthy worship, to grow in discipleship, to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and to serve him in the community and the world in a spirit of inclusivity.

The Church of England/Anglicanism embraces many approaches to worship: we consider ourselves to represent the middle mainstream, with Eucharist at Sunday services.

The church is entirely surrounded by a beautiful circular churchyard, a peaceful oasis in the heart of the parish of Heaton Mersey.

We recognise that your belief and faith can change throughout life, sometimes accompanied by uncertainty: 

We Welcome You.

If you simply wish to see what St John’s can offer, are returning after a period of absence or if you attend regularly: 

We Welcome You.

We do not discriminate in any way on grounds of economic status, gender, health and physical ability, race or sexuality: 

We Welcome You.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you.
