Welcome to Our Parish Community

Who we are

Welcome to St George’s, Altrincham’s parish church in the Church of England.

We are a warm, diverse and welcoming community, with space for people of all ages, backgrounds and stages of life. Whether you have been part of church for many years, are beginning to explore questions of faith, or are looking to mark important moments such as Christenings, Weddings or Funerals, you will find a place here.

At the heart of our life together is a desire to follow Jesus Christ and to share God’s love with our parish and our town. We hope that St George’s is a place where people can worship, ask questions, find support, build friendships and discover a sense of belonging.

Church life at St George’s extends far beyond our worship. Throughout the week our buildings are alive with groups, activities and events for the whole community of all faiths and none - from toddlers to older adults, from social gatherings to support groups, music, learning and community events. Whether you are looking for companionship, somewhere to contribute your gifts, or simply a friendly place to connect with others, we would love to welcome you.

Whatever brings you to St George’s today, we hope you find a community where you can belong, be encouraged, and journey with us.

Our 'Parlez-Vous Français?' group is an informal and welcoming gathering for any women who enjoys speaking French, however rusty or basic!

Rah, rah! We're really sorry but we're going to have to cancel Pathway Youth Group tomorrow because of the heat. It's forecast to be 34 degrees, and as the Parish Centre is designed with lots of windows to let in the light, it's likely to be hotter

Were you married at St George's? For generations of local couples, St George's has been part of one of the most important days of their lives. Families gathered. Photographs were taken. Promises were made. Some of those couples are still worshipping here today. Others have moved away, but still hold fond memories of the church and the role it played in their story. Perhaps you were married here? Perhaps your parents or grandparents were? If St George's has been part of your family story, we'd love to hear about it. Feel free to share a memory or photograph in the comments.

Tots & Tales go on tour!

With the sunshine (hopefully!) here to stay, our friendly toddler group, Tots & Tales, is heading out and about for the summer months.

Together we'll be exploring some of the wonderful family-friendly places in and around Altrincham; from local parks and playgrounds to welcoming cafés, and perhaps even a trip to the beach if the weather is on our side!

Each week we'll keep an eye on the forecast and announce our next destination on Sunday evenings via our social media channels, so be sure to follow along for the latest updates.

Whether you're a regular at Tots & Tales or thinking of joining us for the first time, we'd love to welcome you. It's a great opportunity for little ones to play and explore, while parents, grandparents and carers enjoy friendly company and conversation.

Come along, make new friends, and enjoy a summer of adventures with us!

Confirmation 💒

Confirmation

Each year we celebrate the wonderful moment of Confirmation – and we’d love you to be part of it.

Confirmation is a joyful and significant step in the Christian journey. It’s an opportunity to affirm for yourself the promises made at your baptism – whether those promises were made by you as an adult, or by parents and godparents when you were younger.

It’s for people of all ages and stages. Some have grown up in the Church; others have discovered faith more recently. Wherever you find yourself, Confirmation is a chance to say “yes” to God in a personal and meaningful way.

It doesn’t mean you have all the answers, or that your faith is perfect or complete. None of us does. Instead, it’s about taking a step forward – marking a moment in your journey and being prayed for and encouraged as you continue to grow in faith.

If you or your child (usually from Year 6 upwards) would like to explore this next step, we would be delighted to hear from you.
