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.

🎶🕯️ Love singing traditional Christmas carols? Come and sing them with us! Our Festival Choir will soon be getting ready for one of the highlights of Christmas at St George’s our Carols by Candlelight on Sat 19th Dec. It’s perfect if you love singing but can’t commit to a choir all year round. Come and be part of the Christmas season, enjoy singing some of the great traditional carols and choral music, and then be part of a beautiful candlelit service at the heart of our community.

Wave of Light: Baby Loss

On Sunday 11th October at 7pm, we’ll gather at St George’s for our annual Wave of Light Service; a gentle and peaceful space to remember babies and young children whose lives ended too soon, for whatever reason.

For around 40 minutes, through music, readings, prayers and candlelight, there will be space simply to pause, to remember, and to hold those we love in our hearts.

During the service, candles will be lit — each one a small symbol of a life remembered and a love that continues.

You are warmly welcome whether your loss was recent or many years ago, and whether or not you would normally come to church. You’re also very welcome to come alongside and support someone you love.

🕯️ Sunday 11th October, 7pm
🤍 Everyone welcome

If you can’t be with us but would like a baby or child’s name read aloud and remembered during the service, you can let us know here:
