A very warm welcome to St Matthew’s Parish Church. Our mission is to be a welcoming church to everyone, where the love of God is encountered through our worship and our life together as a church in this community, and where lasting friendships are formed and nurtured.
Our main act of worship is Family Holy Communion.
St Matthew’s, Highfield is part of the West Hub Parish within Church Wigan.
The parish of Wigan West is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Liverpool’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA: https://liverpool.anglican.org/safeguarding-matters/. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
