St Mary's, Birch

St Mary's, Birch belongs to the Church of England and is one of three churches within the Parish of Langley. The parish church is All Saints & Martyrs, Langley and the other church is St Thomas, Bowlee. We are a part of the Rochdale Deanery in the Diocese of Manchester.

We are a small, but welcoming congregation, worshipping in a mix of formal and informal styles. We use the most up to date forms of worship now prescribed by the Church of England.

What we believe:

• that God loves each and every one of us.
• that God has made it possible for us to know him.
• that Jesus is the Son of God and a gift of love to us.
• that accepting Jesus as Lord of our life brings us into relationship with God.
