Welcome to Bethany Evangelical Church
We Preach Christ Crucified
We are a Bible-believing, Christ-centred church in Pennington (Leigh), Greater Manchester.
We’re a small, welcoming church in the heart of Leigh, with a big love for our town and its people.
Our congregation is made up of individuals and families from all walks of life and we celebrate the unity and diversity that comes from being one in Christ.
Because we’re a close-knit fellowship, you won’t stay a stranger for long. There’s always room for you here.
Join us for Sunday worship at 10:30am & 6:30pm
We’d love to meet you.
Welcome, whether you’re exploring faith, new to Leigh, or simply looking for a church to call home — we’re glad you’re here.
We understand that visiting a new church can feel a little intimidating, but we want to reassure you: we’re a warm, friendly, and caring church family who love God and love people.
We’re passionate about our local community, our nation, and the wider world. Our desire is to live out our faith in a way that makes a real difference.
At the heart of everything we do is Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that we gather, worship, and serve — and it’s His love that unites us.
So if you’re in or around Leigh and looking for a place to grow in faith, you’re very welcome to join us — or feel free to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
