"Enjoying Life in Jesus, Sharing His Love"
St Hilda's is an active, growing, local church
on the edge of inner city Manchester

We continue with lots of fellowship time and refreshments after the service, sometimes sharing lunch.
We support Trafford North Foodbank - food or financial donations gladly received at church.
St Hilda’s - Vision for 2026
'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit', says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4.6.
We pray for work carried out not by the tools of the world, nor in the natural strengths we may have or may seek, but by the leadership, guidance and empowerment of the Spirit of God.
