We are a friendly church in the heart of Gorton. Everyone is welcome. You may want to find out more about Jesus; or be looking for a beautiful church to get married in or have your baby baptised.
Please just come along and get to know us. If you would just like to sit, reflect or talk to someone that is fine.
