    Welcome to St Mark's Dukinfield

    St Mark's is an Anglican church. We are a growing, family-friendly group who would love to welcome you. Why not pop in one Sunday morning? Our main Sunday service starts at 10.30 am and afterwards, we gather in the hall for tea and coffee and catch up with one another's news. Here are some of the features of life at St Mark's:

    • there's a special children's corner for little ones to play in during the service
    • we arange a range of social events, trips and concerts (including concerts held by local band Adamson's Band)
    • we run bible study groups and the Alpha Course
    • Messy Church, a monthly craft-based family church aimed particularly at KS1 and KS2 children 
    • we have a Mothers' Union
    • we host an annual Christmas Tree Festival (see separate page)

    New developments                                                            

    St Mark's was completed and consecrated in 1847. The church is dedicated to St Mark, one of the four gospel writers and one of Jesus' disciples. The symbol for St Mark is a winged lion representing the kingship of Jesus.

    Today we are discovering afresh what it means to be a follower of Jesus in all the surprises and ups and downs of daily life.

    After years of decline, St Mark's is once again becoming like the symbol of its patron saint - a strong lion. New developments are taking place in our parish and in our church community and we are excited about the future God has in store for us.
