St. Paul's, Macclesfield

Celebrating 180 years! 1844-2024

We are an 'All Age' church committed to 'living, loving, serving and growing together with God.'  

Our Part-time Interim Priest in Charge, Reverend Simon Gowler was licensed to us in December 2024 and we are building relationships with the Parish of Rainow where Simon remains also as part time Vicar. A fresh new opportunity to grow the kingdom of God as we work and share fellowship and worship together. 

Simon will be well supported by our very own Ant & Dec (aka wardens Nick & Matt) Revd Canon Veronica Hydon and Lay Ministers Frances Hiles and Robert Marshall ensuring that the spiritual life at St Paul's is rich and fun.

We will also endeavour to upload a video of the service to our YouTube channel for those unable to worship with us currently. 

We are a family-friendly church and we have an area in church for our younger visitors where they can play and still be part of the service. On weekday evenings our six Uniformed Groups meet in the Parish Centre. Other weekday activities in the Centre include; Chair yoga, Macc Exercise class, Knit & Knatter, Community choir, Pilates, Lunch club, St Paul's Toddler Group and yoga. The Parish Centre is available for hire for regular sessions or one-off parties and events. See our website for full details.  https://www.stpaulsmacc.org
