Wigan East
Wigan East, also known as Chapelfields, is made up of seven established church buildings and some new worshipping communities.
all saints, hindley
All Saints is the historic mother church in the Hindley area dating back to 1641. It is traditional in style, situated in the middle of a deprived housing estate and across from The Banner pub with whom we have started working with as part of our outreach and mission programme. All Saints has great links with the schools in the area and with two Brownie and one Beaver/Scout group.
BY THIS SHALL ALL PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

st peter's, hindley
St Peter’s is located on the crossroads in the busy town centre of Hindley. Given its prominent situation, it is a popular venue for baptisms and weddings.
Worship at St. Peter’s is traditional yet relaxed, its mixed congregation offering a friendly and inclusive welcome. This includes children for whom there are activities to ensure everyone is involved, and there are strong links with local schools and youth organisations.
GOD’S LOVE IS THE KEY TO OUR FAITH

st john's, hindley green
As well as seven youth organisations there are adult fellowship groups endeavouring to bring a larger number of people to know Jesus. There are close links with the local primary schools and the children are welcomed into church several times a term. There is a willingness to forge ever-greater unity with all the worshipping communities within Chapelfields and across Church Wigan and a desire to celebrate the gift of life spiritually and socially.

the good shepherd, bamfurlong
The Church of The Good Shepherd is the mission church serving the village of Bamfurlong. It was a church plant from nearby St Nathaniel’s set up in a newer built complex including worship space, hall, kitchen and outside space in the small village of Bamfurlong which sits between Platt Bridge and Ashton.
Worship in the tradition of the Church of England happens once a month, and at other times is led by our good friends from Family Of Hope Church.
