Welcome
St Paul’s, a community-minded Anglican church situated in Goose Green, a suburb in the southwest corner of Wigan.
We want to help people of all ages to experience the abundant life Jesus offers and help them walk in his footsteps.
Our desire is to really encounter God, learn to be family together, and to reach out and bless others in the community around us. This website will show you some of the ways in which we do this.
If you would like to support our work you can make a simple £5 donation by sending a Text Message "STPL665" to the number "70070" or visit our Donation page by clicking our 'Donate' button.

Putting Jesus back into Easter
It's hard to believe that, out of the whopping 80 million chocolate Easter Eggs sold each year, not one of them mentions Jesus on the box. Until now that is.
The Real Easter Egg is the first and only Fairtrade chocolate Easter Egg to explain the Christian understanding of Easter on the box. It also supports charity and development projects.
Any Spare Books?
Any Spare Time?
On Monday 16th January, Beech Hill Library (about 3 miles away), which has been closed due to cutbacks, will become a 'Book-Cycle'
Book-Cycle relies on donated books and volunteer labour. If you want a book, you decide the price and you place the money in a donations box.
The founder of Book-Cycle was born in Wigan, and although he now lives in Exeter was shocked when he heard the first library he used to visit with his grandma was to close. He decided to do what he could to save it.
When fully operational Book-Cycle will feature a 'Seed Bank' a Permaculture Garden, Skills Swaps, Workshops, Tree Planting and More.
Books are also sent to the developing world to support education. You can see some projects by CLICKING HERE
The constitution of Book-Cycle does not permit ANYONE being paid for any services, and that includes its founder. You can rest assured that all donations are used to better the community, the environment and the developing world.
If you have any books you would like to donate you can leave them at the back of church and clearly mark them 'Book-Cycle', or you can deliver them to Beech Hill Library, Buckley St West (off Gidlow Lane) from 16th Jan.
