St Hilda's Church, Audenshaw

Welcome to St Hilda's, your local Church of England church, on Denton Road, Audenshaw  M34 5EU

The name of the road describes our location: the church building is on the boundary of Denton and Audenshaw, and our parish area extends across that boundary.

We believe 'Church' is much more than a building: it is a community where all are welcome to come and worship and to find fellowship and friendship.  You will find details of our regular service times here on our website. 

I am so blessed to be your vicar. It seems still like a dream that I could be with you all worshiping the Lord in this Holy place in Audenshaw. .

God finds us and calls us and His love is without boundaries. I am here to point to His love, to serve Him through worship and prayer, to pray for you all and be with you through all the ups and downs of life.

May God bless you and keep you safe

Mthr Amy-Elizabeth
