Do join us for this said service of communion. This is a small, friendly community where we get to fully enjoy the beauty of the church first thing in the morning.
Our choir meets every Sunday morning at 8:30am, and then, for those that wish, stay to sing at our 9.30am service. So if you sing, or would like to give it a go, why not head down to church and be part of this lovely and friendly community?
The choir is likely to take a break during school holidays - do get in touch for more information.
hildren are really important to us, and it’s important to us that young children feel at home in their church which we know will come with some noise and energy depending on their mood!
Each Sunday we have some fantastic provision for our children. Normally, they will join us at the start of the service and then go out with Dee and her team to enjoy their own session and let off some much needed steam! Sometimes we have a fun filled family service (for things such as Harvest) at which point they stay in, playing a full part in all that’s going on.
For those younger, and indeed, for any children who would prefer to stay in the service there is a children’s area where they can explore all that’s on offer during the service. Also, as they get older, many of our children play an active role in our services by doing things such as reading and being the acolytes (carrying the candles) which we love!
After the service, we all gather for coffee and biscuits, and our children get well and truly spoilt!
Church is a wonderful way for children to get comfortable speaking to a wide range of people, and gives their adults some space to reflect on the week and get a hot drink too at the end of it!
Do join us for this friendly, dignified service of communion. Whether this is your first time, or you are returning after time away, or have been coming to church for some time, a warm welcome awaits.
Partnering with Altrincham Baptist Church and John Leigh Park, we are delighted to be involved once again in this year’s Carols in the Park!
Taking place in the outdoor darkness of the park, this is an opportunity to gather together as we sing some popular carols in this beautiful setting.
Wrap up warm, pick up a torch and be part of this family tradition!
Within all the excitement and anticipation of Christmas, we are also deeply aware that Christmas can be a really difficult time – especially if you are missing someone you loved.
With this in mind we have in the church our ‘Blue Christmas Tree’ – a tree lit up with blue lights where you can add the names of those who you wish to remember. You can also add a prayer to it if something is feeling just a bit much at the moment.
It’s available during school hours and in all our services right up to the New Year.
In partnership with Altrincham Baptist Church, the much-loved Advent Trail at John Leigh Park returns again for 2024!
Explore the different stations of the Christmas story – a great way to entertain children and get some iconic pictures along the way too!
Don’t forget to wrap up warm and if you’re coming later on in the afternoon, bring a torch too!

Exploring the tricky art of parenting!
We have qualifications for this and that, but when it comes to parenting it can feel a little overwhelming, and sometimes quite lonely.
We’re not professionals, but want to provide some space when we can talk about the challenges that parenting can present and together support and encourage each other! At times it will just be open chat, at others, we might go for a slightly more structured approach as we listen to some ideas and discuss how they might/might not work for us.
So do come along, grab a cuppa and make some new friends along the way.

A support group for parents of children with SEND
Term Time only
Parenting can be quite a path to negotiate, even more so with children that have SEND. So, after many conversations last year, we’re going to put together an informal group where we can share experiences over a cuppa and support each other along the way.
We’re not professionals, and although we’ll invite the SENCO from Altrincham Primary School to chat now and then, it will mainly be us just listening to each other and offering lots of support and encouragement.
You don’t need to come to church on a Sunday, or have a child of a particular age – open to all. Please do spread the word.
Term time only
Come along to this friendly group and get involved with projects that seek to help those in need.
