Our Story

There is a council estate in Bolton called Oldhams estate. In 2014 a small group of people, part of the local parish church; St Paul’s Astley Bridge, began to pray and dream about how they could plant church within Oldhams estate. In January 2016, after much prayerful waiting, Sunday worship started.

More on Oldhams Church

Oldhams Church is a community of Jesus’ followers. We are seeking to become better followers of Jesus, better at sharing him with our friends and neighbours and better at being his family.

Oldhams Church is made up of many different people, some who have been Christians for many years, some for just a few weeks and some who are yet to call themselves Christian.

On Sundays we gather at 3.00pm at the Barlow Park Centre. The meeting lasts an hour. There are songs, testimonies, prayers, brews, treats and learning from the Bible.

Throughout the week we do many things as a church family. These include: Alpha Courses, a 6 month Apprenticeship course for developing leaders, daytime Bible study and Lunch, open house food, Community cafe, Men and Women's Bible Studies, Youth Groups, Celebrate Recovery 12-step group and lots of fun day trips and activities.

What people say

Jenny says,

“I was in a dark, lonely place for many years, and alcohol had destroyed my faith, hope and was destroying me and my family. In 2017 I found Oldhams Church and my relationship with Jesus. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since. A true miracle from God”

John says,

“Since being part of church I’ve got people I can rely on, they are my family. Jesus has done that for me and he’s been there even when I haven’t known him.”

Our Story

Hope Community Church, Longsight first gathered for Sunday worship in 2018. In other ways though we go further back, to the time when the team first began to gather in January of 2018, to the time when we began to talk about a new church in Longsight in 2017, to 2012 when some of its people began to dream of a church planting movement across Manchester, or to 2009 when a few of us began working on Longsight market, and prayed for the day when there would be a local gathering we could invite people to. It’s a new church born from a vision that has grown slowly.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple: it’s to know the love of God in Jesus and to share it with others. We want to know God better, to love our neighbours and to love each other. We want to see the message of God’s love in Jesus come to our neighbourhood. We want people to see that God can bring people together in love. We come from 5 different continents, and many different countries. Our church, although it is small, has people who speak among other languages, English, Urdu, Hindi, Farsi, Romanian, Arabic, French, Kurdish and Chinese. We offer help for people to understand God’s word in their own language.

Our community - and where we meet

We see ourselves as a community, committed to one another to God and to our world.

We meet regularly three times a week to look at God’s word and worship (and eat together!).

On Sundays we gather at 10:Growth Centre Lognsight, M12 4AA. This meeting lasts just over an hour. There is teaching from the Bible, worship, prayer and sometimes communion (the shared symbolic meal of Christians).

On Tuesdays we are at St John’s Rectory from 6.30pm, when we share a meal, and begin discussing the Bible together from 7.15pm.

On Thursdays, we are at St John’s Rectory again. The morning starts at 9.15am, when we open the house up to anyone who wants to come. We also offer free English classes or help with form-filling to anyone who needs it. From 10:15am we drink great coffee or tea and eat great cake. From 10:45am we start looking at the Bible together.

Praying at Hope Church Longsight

As well as our regular worship and study meetings, where we pray, some of us also gather to pray early every morning, every Tuesday morning, every other Thursday evening, and once a month on Saturdays.
