Welcome to St John the Evangelist, Thornham.
St John’s is a family-friendly church community in the semi-rural suburbs of North Manchester.
We are an Anglican Church that is alive in faith and actions.
We are a broad mix of age groups with people from the local and neighbouring communities.
Whether you are just visiting or looking for a place to call ‘home’, you can be sure of a warm welcome, and we look forward to meeting you.
Our Vision
To offer worship and witness that honours God, inspires the faithful, engages enquirers and attracts newcomers.
Our Services Every Sunday 10:30 am in St John’s Church
Church Accessibility
St John’s church has a ramp to aid those with mobility issues and an accessible disability toilet with baby changing facilities.
The Environment
At St John’s we ensure we do everything possible to care for the environment. We have achieved the silver Rocha award by developing our grounds, building bug houses and putting up bird boxes. A number of people from the community work in and look after our grounds. We try not to use plastic and recycle everything we can. Our tea and coffee are Fairtrade. We use green energy and are prudent with its use.
Donations
Church of England churches are self-funding. We need to meet our running costs, plus pay a sum to the central body of the Church of England:
It is therefore important that each member of the church help meet this cost and give whatever we are able.
To donate to the ministry and upkeep of St John’s Church, there are several ways to go about this, either:
- Donate cash via the box at the back of church.
- Use the QR code at the back of church or on the information cards on the seats.
- Set up a standing order. Details available from our treasurer Linda Law.
- There is also an envelope scheme to help you budget weekly or monthly.
- If you are a taxpayer, the best way to donate is to give using a standing order and completing a gift aid form available from our treasurer. In doing so, the church is able to claim 20% tax back, which enhances the gift you have made.
Or you can donate right now by using the QR Code
