All Saints’ Appley Bridge is a small and welcoming Church of England Church. We seek to share God’s love with our community. Whether you are confident in your faith, or wanting to explore more, there is a place for you here in our Christian family.
There is a service in All Saints’ Church every Sunday at 10:30 am.
We have Holy Communion each week at 10.30 am except for the 1st Sunday in the month when we have a lay led service of Morning Prayer.
We have informal interactive services for children and their families: Family Time at 9.00 am on the 2nd Sunday of the month and JAM (Jesus & Me) at 9.00 am on the 4th Sunday of the month. Activities for children are always available at the back of church.

NEW………….
Fishy Sundays are a new half-termly service in All Saints Church 10.30am-11.30am where the children will have their own jobs to help run the service. There’ll be stickers for each child to collect and prizes at the end of the year. The children begin at 10.30am in the service with their parent(s), then go out to special activities in Church 4 Kids, returning in time for Communion. Parent(s) enjoy the service while the children are out and then the children will show us what they’ve been doing and help to lead the prayers & with other roles. Everyone is welcome. Fishy Sunday dates for the year are: 2025: 21st Sept, 16th Nov, 2026: 18th Jan, 1st March 2026, 19th April, 21st June.

Midweek Communion Wednesdays at 10.30 am
Christ Church Parbold’s mid-week 10.30 service on a Wednesday will be held at the Parbold WI Hall rather than in Christ Church Parbold. Rev’d John Mountain usually takes the service.
The WI Hall address is 2 Station Rd, Parbold, Wigan WN8 7NU and it is the hall on the same side of the road as the shops in Parbold.
Our Watchword for 2025 is:
‘We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.’
Our watchword poster was designed by a pupil in year 6 from All Saints’ Church of England Primary School.
Staying Safe Post Covid 19:
For communion services, bread and wine (in individual cups) is available from the Minister or people can opt to have wine from a communal chalice if they prefer. The Chalice is available at the end of Communion administration, after those preferring individual glass cups for taking the wine have been served.
Safeguarding
At All Saints’ we have a robust and thorough approach to the protection of young people and vulnerable adults. As a parish, we have adopted the House of Bishops’ ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ policy and the Parish Safeguarding Handbook, incorporating the House of Bishop’s Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance. We expect all members of the church and visitors to abide by the requirements of these documents.
Our PCC has formally adopted this and signed the Safeguarding Policy Statement Promoting a Safer Church which can be downloaded by clicking on the links below.
