Welcome to St Bert's

We are a lively and friendly Church, serving the homes and businesses of Windmill Hill, Norton and Murdishaw, which together comprise Norton Parish.

We are actively involved in our local community, and work closely with the other churches of Runcorn.

Together we want to help all ages
find in the love of Jesus Christ,
fullness of life and joy,
help for the present (whatever that may be)
and a sure hope for the future right into eternity.
