Welcome to St Alban's Church, Offerton, Stockport.

Our mission for the parish is that it may be a place of worship and encounter; faith and discipleship; outreach and engagement; education and learning, that Jesus Christ may be praised in all things.

Our aim is to create a welcoming church, where people are able to encounter God, to be challenged by Him, and to grow in holiness. We seek to live out the Christian faith in the wider community, transforming lives by engaging with the Church's mission to take the good news of Jesus Christ to all people.

St. Alban's church seeks to:

• enrich lives by helping people discover the Christian faith

• provide spiritual support to those affected by sickness, grief or difficulty

• engage with local community groups working for social transformation

• encourage Christian learning for children and adults

• conserve our heritage for future generations

Ours is a living and an exciting faith. It is good news for the world. God changes lives - he makes us whole.

St Alban's is home to a diverse community of people, each at different points on a journey together with Christ. Wherever you are on that journey, you are welcome. We value our diversity and recognise that this is a strength that helps to reflect the whole tapestry of God's creation. We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
