Sandbach and the Heath

On 1st June 2025 the parish of St Mary church Sandbach expanded and has now become the parish of St Mary and St John Sandbach. It is also known as the benefice of Sandbach and the Heath.

The Bishop of Stockport commissioned our vicar Bee as Rural Dean at St Mary Sandbach on Thursday 6th November 2025 at 7pm. The parish enjoyed a well attended service commissioning Bee - the first Vicar of this parish to take on this role for over 100 years! See photo below.

Christingle

For Candlemas

Sunday 1st February 2025 10am St Mary Church Sanbach

Do you like a Christingle service? Come along to the Christingle service at St Mary’s.

I hear you saying but its not Christmas.…it is the Christmas season in the church, it lasts for 40 days. Christingle can be held on day from advent until Candlemas. Candlemas is always 2nd February.

All ages welcome. Do come along and celebrate through music, prayer, and of course building a Christingle candle.

What does each part of the Christingle represent?

The orange represents the whole world.
The red ribbon is placed around the outside of the orange. This is a symbol of Jesus' love and how he gave his life to save humankind.
The four sticks represent the four seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn.
The fruit represents the fruit of the earth.

Vision

Growing God’s Kingdom in us and through us

To be a multi generational church that actively serves the community and is recognised for sharing the love of God

A woman in a white robe with a purple stole stands at an altar inside a church, holding a booklet. The altar has a candle, a silver chalice, and other items. The church interior features stained glass windows and dark wooden pews.

Who We Are

However you describe your spiritual journey, we would love for you to join us on the adventure.

Together as church family we seek to be more like Jesus, to help one another, to share our gifts, to pray and worship God together.

We also seek to serve and care for the people of Sandbach so that all may know they are loved.

Whether you come to church regularly, would be interested in finding out more or simply want to experience the peace and tranquillity of this ancient building.
