Everyone knows that churches have pews and organs and hymn books but churches are made up of people, who do all the things that people do in the 21st Century, including using the internet. On this website, you’ll find all the usual things you’d expect, like dates and times of services (with a brief description of what goes on), contact details for the church and key individuals, articles on things like baptism, weddings, and other activities we do as a church. There’s stuff to help you, inform you, and hopefully, make you think a little about your life.

Here is the list of the wonderful people who keep the church going.

Jane Lloyd

I was born in bury and attended a number of churches over the years. I became aware of St John’s once again when I was going through a particularly difficult time in my life; that was 5 years ago. After 3 years of attending I was honoured to be asked to become a member of the PCC, 12 months later I was asked to be a church warden, although it’s still early days, I am enjoying the work involved and every day is a learning day.

I have lived in Birtle for 33 years and have attended St Johns for @14years, as Warden for the last 7 years. I was married here and when my husband passed his funeral was held here with his ashes are interred in the Garden of Remembrance. I am retired, and after working full time and being my husbands carer, I am now enjoying some ‘me’ time.I love knitting. sewing, reading and most of all walking and spending time with my partner and his two young grandchildren. My partner lives in St Annes on Sea so time is spent between our two homes which keeps life busy but pleasantly interesting. Holidays are now spent discovering parts of Britain that we have never visited , lots of countryside and walking.
