Home - St Michael's Church, Macclesfield

Welcome St Michael’s is a community of people on a journey. We have not got to where we are going yet, but we travel together with real hope. Do not think that we have all the answers, as we don’t. We just know that we have found something that has touched our lives - and it is changing us. This ‘something’ is, of course, the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. His teaching and wisdom has the potential to change us and our world. Sadly, Christians have often ignored his most powerful teachings on love, justice and forgiveness. We are eager not to do the same. We invite anyone to join us on our journey, and to find with us what it means to be in touch with the God of all things. Our home is the magnificent church building of St Michael’s which is at the heart of Macclesfield; in the Marketplace and next door to the Town Hall. St Michael’s Church is part of the Macclesfield Team Ministry. For more information about the Team, its clergy and other churches please click here.

Our Purpose To journey inward and upward to the God we know in Jesus, AND To journey outward to other people and to all creation.

One of Macclesfield’s best kept secrets is the amount of social action being provided by small local organisations many of which are supported by HOPE in NE Cheshire or churches which are members of HOPE, and the huge amount of volunteering to provide help where it’s needed.
