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.

Good to gather as a community this Remembrance Sunday to remember those who have died, and still do die, as a result of war and conflict. Particularly touched by our Junior Church and uniformed groups laying their poppies, and thankfully to Anne Moo

🌸Tomorrow, (8th November ) at 9:30am, our community will gather inside St George’s Church, Altrincham (WA14 4SG) to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all who gave, and continue to give, so much for our freedom. Join us as we pause to remember the fallen, reflect with gratitude, and pray for peace in our world today. Whether you’re coming to lay a wreath, wear your poppy with pride, or simply take a moment of quiet reflection, you are warmly welcome. Our Junior Church and Toddler Session will also be running alongside the service, giving our younger children space to explore the meaning of Remembrance in ways that are thoughtful, engaging and appropriate for their age.

Advent & Christmas 2026

Our Advent & Christmas events are now LIVE !

There's something rather special about the traditions that come around each Christmas — the familiar carols, the glow of candlelight, the excitement of children, and those moments when families, friends and neighbours come together.

They're the things that give the season its rhythm, bringing generations together and creating memories that stay with us for a lifetime.

And here at St George's, we're looking forward to sharing them with you once again!

From family celebrations and festive events to traditional carol services and quieter moments of reflection, there's something for all ages as we journey through Advent and Christmas together.

Whether you've been coming to St George's for years, are returning after some time away, or would simply like to discover what's happening in your local church, we'd love you to be part of it all.
