St John’s Church is a warm and friendly church located close to Walton Hall Gardens in the village of Walton, Warrington, Cheshire.
At St John's we want everyone to experience the love of God and the joy that comes from encountering Jesus.
We are committed to the Bible and aim to give messages that are relevant and helpful for everyone. Our services aim to cater for all needs, whether seeking quiet reflection, traditional worship or more modern family services. We want you to feel you can come along to any of our services and events.
Our family worship is especially geared to all ages and an excellent way to get to know us as a church family. We'd love you to join us.

Walton Wanderers

Church Life - Walking Group
2025
Walton Reservoir

The Walton Wanderers are a group of people who walk every Monday at 09.45am for approximately one and a quarter hours.   We enjoy some deep conversations, take in the scenery and usually stop near the reservoir for a few moments of mindfulness and gratitude.   It’s a great way to start the week and is appreciated by us all, even in the rain.  In recent weeks we have been enjoying meeting for coffee after the walk, in the Community Church Hall.
If you are free on Monday morning and would like to join us, please contact Gill Povey.

From Rev. Jo


Dear Friends,

The Old and the New.

In the Church we begin the new year on Advent Sunday, which this year is 30th November. In the last few years the trend for something more than a chocolate Advent calendar for the children has developed into expensive ‘treats’, everything from whisky miniatures to luxury beauty products on offer. Whilst most of us enjoy the occasional treat, perhaps Advent is not the right time for this. Traditionally, Advent like Lent, is a time of fasting and prayer.
