Chorlton Central Church

Chorlton Central Church is a congregation combining members of the Baptist denomination and the United Reformed Church.

The Church premises are in the heart of Chorlton, a lively, leafy, cosmopolitan suburb that has many elderly people, a stable nucleus of families and a transient population of students and young families. Church members have diverse backgrounds and independent minds, but seek to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus often talked about the 'Kingdom of God' - his vision of a community rooted in his message of love. This has been summed up by David Bosch ...


Church people often put church work above concerns of justice, mercy and truth.
Kingdom people seek first the Kingdom of God and its justice.

Church people think about how to get people into the church.
Kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world.

Church people worry that the world might change the church.
Kingdom people work to see the church change the world

Our members are strongly committed to issues of social justice; including

• Fair Trade
• Justice
• Christian Aid
• Make Poverty History campaign
• support for refugees and asylum seekers

The Church is committed to becoming an open and affirming congregation, welcoming people to share our journey, whatever their age, race, culture, gender, sexuality, economic status, or physical or mental ability. We are a small congregation and the usual attendance at Sunday worship is around 20 to 30.
