St James Westbrook (Hood Manor & Chapelford) is your local, friendly, church family. You are warmly invited to all of our services and events. Please visit our website to find out more about what we do.
We have a small primary school linked with our church offering provision for children aged 3-11.
We are a 'Hong Kong' friendly church, ready to welcome and support families from Hong Kong and anywhere else in the world. We already have established families from Hong Kong as church members and some children recently arrived from Hong Kong in our church school.
Our church is a 'dual use' building with many activities for young families and health and fitness activities for adults run by different organisations through the week.
We are part of the West Warrington Team Ministry of churches.

We are a well-established Church of England congregation, that has been worshipping in our current building for over 250 years. Our average weekly congregations (we have three) number around 100 people and our ages range from 0 to nearly 100! Our vision is to be ‘a growing church making a growing difference' and we seek to do this through our work in local schools and care homes, running an exploratory course on the Christian faith (called Alpha) on a regular basis, having a monthly community lunch, plus providing baptisms (or christenings), weddings and funerals for those in our locality.
