Welcome to St. John's
We are a lively, evangelical Anglican church in Dukinfield on the Eastern edge of Greater Manchester. We have about 150-200 attending on a Sunday. We have two services in the morning at 9am and 10.30am. Our 10.30 service includes groups for children and young people.
We now have a 6pm service as well - it takes short breaks over holiday periods so to confirm times contact the office
