Are you thinking of coming to church for the first time, or the first time in a long time? You will be very welcome!
St Paul’s is located in a prime position in the centre of Ramsbottom. With a growing congregation, the church offers a warm welcome to the many visitors who arrive in town, as well as local people.
Services at St Paul's are traditional, with alternate weeks of Holy Communion and Family Worship each Sunday at 11.00am.
In addition, we also host a Holy Communion Book of Common Prayer (BCP) service on Tuesdays at 10.30am, which attracts worshippers from a wide area. All services are followed by refreshments.
We have a thriving Sunday school, which currently ranges from 12 months to 12 years. Our Sunday school plays a vital and growing role within weekly services, with a changing focus in line with the ecumenical calendar. We welcome all families to join our lively Sunday mornings!
Most Saturday mornings we hold a Saturday Café where we serve the best bacon butties and coffee in town. Our church is also open for private prayer and quiet contemplation then, from 10am until 12 noon.
Our wardens are Ryan Salter and Andy Cole-Kinsey, who are usually to be found on a Sunday in church and will be very happy to meet you.
