Getting to know us
You are always welcome to visit us at any time, whether one of our church meetings or a larger community event. We have an increasing number of visitors to our meetings and there are many in the church who would feel that they are relatively new among us.
We always encourage people to ask questions (even if we don’t know all the answers!) and to allow time just for us to get to know each other better. If people feel after a while that Bolton Family Church is to be their ‘spiritual home’ we invite them to our Vision & Values course as part of joining our church family. Please see ‘Training and conferences’ under ‘What We Do’ for more information about this.
Alternatively you may initially wish to phone or email us. We will be very happy to speak with you, to offer prayer, or to visit you at home if you so wish. You can find our contact details under ‘Contact’.
Getting to know God
We believe that God has created us to worship him and to enjoy him forever.
However, mankind does not thank, honour or obey him as we ought, but has offended him by preferring our own selfish ways. Consequently we have broken our relationship with him and are instead on course to face his judgement for our sins.
But his love for us is so great that he has sent his own Son, Jesus Christ, to die a sacrificial death for our sins. His death and resurrection offer us forgiveness, freedom from sin’s power, and full reconciliation with God.
His Holy Spirit reveals to us our true state and draws us to repentance and faith in Jesus. He causes us to be born again into the family of God’s people, filled with his divine power and called to inherit eternal life.
We believe that God is actively interested in your life, and that you too can enjoy a personal relationship with your Creator and Redeemer. He promises that if we seek him, we shall surely find him.

Our Alpha courses are a great introduction to the Christian faith, for any person coming from any background. You can find more information about Alpha at ‘Guest events’ under ‘Other meetings & events’, or by taking a look at the Alpha website.
