- part of the Greater Manchester Churches Together
with enthusiam to share the love of Jesus across our communities
Christ Church has long been involved in an ecumenical group of churches based around the Walmersley Road area. In recent years this grouping has joined with other churches to form Churches Together in Bury.
Currently our Benefice is not well represented here so why not come along and see if you feel you could fit in. You would be most welcome and our meetings, on different evenings of the week are normally held every other month - see the calendar for details.
. On Good Friday a Walk of Witness (see Events for details) is held and Carol Singing takes place in the Millgate Centre in December (see below).
From 2024 we have been involved in the Toy Appeal previously run by the Salvation Army. In 2024 this appeal made a significant difference to over 400 children from 250+ local families. See below for more details of the 2025 appeal)
We try to share information so that around the town we can give out the same messages - for example, how to get a bed for the night if you are on the street; or where hot meals are available. We share also details of projects such as Open the Book.
We have a Facebook page in order to share information more easily and widely. Please like and share with collleagues and friends. If you are arranging anything which may be of interest to other Christians in Bury please post (it will be reviewed before going live so don't worry if you cannot see it straightaway).
Prayer
Importantly, the group prays together. Fortnightly meetings are held on Zoom on Fridays, praying also for specific areas of the town each time. Churches - congregations and leaders - are the focus of prayer each week.
