TFW is a non-denominational church situated on the north side of Macclesfield. Since our early days we have grown into a vibrant congregation, reaching out to the people of Tytherington, Macclesfield, and further afield in mission work around the world.

We are a church made up of lots of ordinary people, of all age groups. We love God, love life, and love each other (or at least we are learning how to). Our aim is to be a church family where everyone is valued and can belong.

We come from a variety of church backgrounds, and many of us from no church background at all. We’re an evangelical church, which means we believe the good news of Jesus (the gospel) is the most important news that anyone could hear.

We have a number of affiliations, including the Evangelical Alliance – a body which represents over 2 million Christians in the UK, and the The UK Willow Creek Association.

Sundays at 9:00am & 11:00am

Our main Sunday services

We worship through a mixture of modern songs, hymns, prayers, and scripture readings. Each week we seek to provide a life-giving, thought-provoking, gospel-centred message.

*Please note, we currently have ministry groups for children and youth at our 11:00am service only. (We hope to provide these for our 9:00am service soon).

We serve tea and coffee before the 9am service (from 8:30am), and after the 11am service, which is a good chance to mingle and strike up a conversation with someone.

If you would like to listen to our morning sermons please visit our sermons page.

 

Sundays at 6:00pm

Sunday evening studies

Most Sunday evenings have a focus on Bible Study, with a slighty more traditional style of worship. A different speaker each week brings a message from a particular passage. We are currently studying through the book of Romans.

1st Sunday 

On the first Sunday evening of each month we meet for a time of contemporary worship, prayer and communion. It’s a time to come and be renewed in our faith and refreshed in God’s presence.

 

Sunday Night Youth 7:30pm – 9:00pm

A youth gathering for High Schoolers (11 – 16).

Hangout and eat pizza. worship, a message, discussions, and lots of fun.
