We are a welcoming community church in the centre of Failsworth, with a diverse and inclusive congregation.
Our regular Services on most Sundays are a Parish Communion with hymns at 9.30 am and then an All Age Family Friendly Service at 11.00 (for 40 mins). On the 1st Sunday of the month, both congregations come together for an All Age Parish Communion at 10.00 am, as we do on Christmas Day, Easter Day and other special occasions like the Confirmation Service with Bishop Mark.
We also have a regular midweek Communion each Weds at 10.00 am Followed by refreshments in our new West End Community Space. All very welcome.
