Welcome to Our Church Community
Who we are
Welcome to St George’s, Altrincham’s Church of England parish. We are a diverse and welcoming congregation with room for all ages and stages; whether you have been part of church life for many years, are beginning to explore the Christian faith, or are looking to mark Life Events such as Christenings, Weddings, or Funerals.
As we seek to follow Christ in all that we do, we pray that St George’s will be a place of worship, exploration, support, and continued presence for our parish and our town.

A Quiet Christmas
A Service for Reflection and Remembering 🌙
Not everyone finds the Christmas season easy. For some, it’s a time of longing, loss, or quiet struggle.
This year, we invite you to pause, reflect, and simply be.
Join us for our Quiet Christmas Service:
🗓 Sunday, 7th December
⏰ Around 45 minutes
🎵 Music | 🕯 Space to reflect | 🙏 Simple prayers
Our Blue Christmas Tree will be available for you to place a prayer, or the names of loved ones you’ve lost, creating a gentle space to remember and honour them.
This service is for everyone, whether you normally come to church or not. It’s a calm, welcoming space to step out of the seasonal rush and find a moment of peace.
Come as you are, and take a quiet moment this Christmas.
