St George Stalybridge	About us
St George's Church Stalybridge is a community of Anglican (Church of England) worshippers. We gather for worship on Sundays and during the week. This is usually for the Eucharist (or Holy Communion) that we believe is the central act of Christian worship. We also meet in order to be of service to others. This takes different forms: activities that we run as a church, things which we do with other groups all that our congregation members do in their daily lives and occupations.

This is a Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Manchester and Deanery of Ashton-under-Lyne. New St George's, as it became known, was originally built to serve the growing nineteenth century population of the area due to cotton manufacturing and consecrated on June 24th 1840. The intention had been to re-place an older chapel-of-ease. This chapel was, however, eventually re-built in 1888 and known as Old St George's. Old St George's become unstable and closed in 1967. Its congregation joined the ‘new' church to become the single church and parish of St George, Stalybridge.
