In our group of churches we seek to follow Jesus. We are among the millions of His disciples in the world, and like them, we strive to live out the Christian life. We seek to fulfil the call of Jesus to love God, and love our neighbours, by serving our local communities. We invite you to join us on this journey of spiritual growth and community engagement.
The town and local area of Wigan in the North West of England has a long history of Methodism and it's mission. Currently represented by our eleven Methodist Churches, and the presence of a number of Independent Methodist Churches in the town. Our twelve churches cover north, south, east and west across the town and beyond to its outer edges. Our churches offer a warm welcome to newcomers and long standing members alike. You can find out more about each church and the range of worship and activities using the tab at the top of the page.
May God bless you.
God of grace and hope,
Where the warmth of a smile eclipses the sinister sneer –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Where an act of kindness
undermines an evil deed –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Where a word of peace
silences the terrorist’s threat –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Where difference is diversity
in place of disunity –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Where youth is innocent
and age is wisdom –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Where love is real
and faith is kindled –
Let hope stand triumphant.
Praying that praise and protest
would be partners in our living and in our praying,
that your kingdom may come among us.
Amen.
