Whoever you are. Whatever your story.
Welcome Home!
Norbury Church (aka St. Thomas, Hazel Grove) is a thriving, inclusive, Modern Anglican Church. We are situated on the A6, next to Torkington Park and our heart is to serve all people in our community. Our mission is to help the people of Hazel Grove and beyond understand, and find, the love of God and to be a place of spiritual learning and listening. Some churches have big bands, others have big stages - at Norbury we have a big heart to offer a big welcome. So whether you are coming to our Welcome Cafe or one of our Toddler groups. Whether you are looking for a wedding, a baptism, or a funeral, we want you to feel welcomed and loved.
At Norbury Church, we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all.
We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance.
If you have any concerns or inquiries regarding safeguarding, please contact our safeguarding officer.
