St John's Old Trafford

Welcome to St John's 'A Church Near You' site.

Do have a look around and hopefully you can find what you are looking for or at least where to go or who to contact to do so.

Check out the Services and Events or the News and Notices section for anything up to date and new.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On Sundays we meet for our 10.00am service (also accessible via Zoom), with hymns of worship, a short talk to encourage our faith in Jesus and usually the sharing of communion.

Feel welcome to come and join us and make yourself at home!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

St Johns Church is a red brick church at the heart of Old Trafford with a black majority congregation and a strong record on being rooted in the community and serving church and non church, especially through stjohnscentre.org and cultural events, such as Cabaret for Freedom.
