History

Although only becoming known as Mottram Evangelical Church in 1988, the church building (previously used both as a Methodist chapel and a Congregational church) dates back to the 18th century.

In the 1970’s a small but faith-filled congregation took the decision to modernise the premises. Since then the church has continued to both grow and be blessed.

The present pastor, Gareth Lloyd-Jones, was called to the church in 1999 with the mandate of facilitating new growth.

Hattersley Community Church was planted in September 2002. Its dynamic youth programme, Eden Hattersley, is run in partnership with the Message Trust.

At present Mottram Evangelical Church and Hattersley Community Church are two congregations with a united leadership.
