'Church is not an organisation that you join,

it is a family where you belong,

and a home where you are loved,

and a hospital where you find healing...'

St Paul's is part of the Ramsbottom and Edenfield Team Ministry, which is made up of four churches which include St Andrew's, Edenfield and St Philip's. We have a variety of traditions but seek to work together alongside other Christians in our town, to share the 'Good News' of Jesus, and to show his love to all. Whether a visitor to the town, or just wanting to come on occasion, you are very welcome to join us for any of our services and join us for coffee and biscuits afterwards.

The church is led by the PCC which includes the Team Rector and Church Warden. The PCC and Wardens are elected by those who have signed up to St Paul’s Electoral Roll at the APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) which is held in April.
