About Us
Priest-in-Charge, Rev. Kate Burgess
Welcome to St Matthew’s Church, Stretford, a church which lies in the Deanery of Stretford, and is part of the Diocese of Manchester in the Church of England
There has been a church on this site since 11th century and we are proud of our Anglican heritage, standing as a symbol and focus of the presence of God in our community. We are an active and diverse fellowship of Christians of liberal churchmanship, and we strive to be inclusive and welcoming to all who come. Our main Sunday service is at 10am with a Sung Eucharist/Holy Communion on all but the 3rd Sunday of the month. During our 10am Sung Eucharist/Holy Communion our J-club (for children and young people) meets for their teaching and worship with our trained leaders and helpers. We have a wonderful group of bell ringers who ring from 9.30am each morning before our worship and for special events.
We also have a 8am Said BCP Communion service every Sunday morning as well as some Sunday evening services, ranging from Sung BCP Evensong, to Taizé services and Songs of Praise services. We also have a weekly Wednesday morning Eucharist/Holy Communion at 10am. Our Diary/Events page contains full details and times.
Social events are also important to us at St Matthew's; and we have Saturday coffee mornings with delicious homemade cakes. We have bring and share lunches to celebrate special events, as well as annual events such as our St Matthew’s Day hot pot and gift day, Garden Party, Barbeque and the Plant Sale and Ploughman’s Lunch.
St Matthew's Church continues to be a place of prayer serving the local community by marrying couples, baptising children and adults, and helping people say goodbye to loved ones at funerals. If we can be of service to you please do get in touch.
We have strong links with St Matthew’s School. We are a Fair Trade Church, and we support a range of charities as part of our love and service as Christians: the homeless, refugee and asylum seekers, the Children’s Society, Christian Aid, CMS partners in the Lebanon and our local Foodbank.
We welcome all those who join us for our services and fellowship. If you would like to find out more about us please do contact us, or come along to one of our services and meet us.
