As well as seven youth organisations there are adult fellowship groups endeavouring to bring a larger number of people to know Jesus. There are close links with the local primary schools and the children are welcomed into church several times a term. There is a willingness to forge ever-greater unity with all the worshipping communities within Chapelfields and across Church Wigan and a desire to celebrate the gift of life spiritually and socially.
St. John's Church takes its duty and obligation to protect all extremely seriously. We have adopted the national Church of England's robust procedures and guidelines.

The parish of Wigan East 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.
