St Anne's Church is made up of an active group of people who love God and want to serve our Community. Our services are modern and informal and we love to get everyone involved.
All ages have a part to play at St Anne's Church and there are groups and activities for everyone, and because Church is not just about Sunday, there are lots of activities going on throughout the week. Why not join us and get involved?

Authorised Lay Ministry

ALM Title 3 What is an Authorised Lay Minister?

Authorised Lay Ministers (ALMs) are lay people active in church life, who have been identified by their parish as having a particular gifting, vocation or calling to share in the team ministry of the local church.

ALMs are nominated by their incumbent and PCC to be trained, nurtured and equipped, in preparation for being ‘commissioned’ by the Bishop, to carry out a mutually agreed ministry role back within the local parish context.

ALMs are expected to work collaboratively as part of the wider parish ministry team in serving, resourcing and encouraging all God’s people to carry out the vision and mission of God’s Church.more info button

Kath Talbot - Churchwarden

Kath Talbot

I've known and been associated with St Anne's Church since I was a small child. I went to St Anne's Primary School and attended Sunday School here.
Although I spent quite a few years living in Stacksteads my attachment to this Church remained.
When I moved back to the area I rekindled the link to 'My Church.'
I've had the privilege to be able serve St Anne's
for several years as Churchwarden.
