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
 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.  |
Notices
A message from Archdeacon Michael GilbertsonJune 2026
As many of you will know, Jo Mackriell announced to the parish on 10 May that sadly she had taken the decision to resign from
St John’s. Her resignation takes effect from the end of August. Jo and I have agreed that it will make sense for her to focus her
ministry at Daresbury rather than Walton during this period. Please pray for Jo and for the continued life and ministry of both parishes. I will be working with the PCC to plan for the appointment of a new vicar for St John’s in due course.
