THE CHURCH is always here for You! 

"You are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple" 

Welcome to CHURCH@Claremont

Church is not generally about a building but about people who have made a choice to follow Jesus Christ and relate, through Him, to God.  Because of His life, death and resurrection, we can approach our God with confidence.  Please accept this invitation to our main meeting every Sunday at 10:30.  You will be made welcome and we will be very pleased to help you with any needs or questions.    

Christmas 2024

For details of our program for Christmas, please go to our "What's happening" page or follow this link.

An International Church

We live in a multi-national and multi-cultural world and we are thrilled that God has brought us new church members from a variety of nations and cultures.  As well as our traditional British members, we are now proud to include people with heritage from Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe in our regular congregation.  These new members bring a very welcome richness as we explore together what it means to be a Child of God in the Worldwide Church.

It's All About People!

Many of our church members will be pleased to tell you how their lives have radically changed since they made a decision to follow Jesus Christ.  Several are available to listen to on our 'Life Stories' page and you can frequently hear new ones during our meetings.  Here are just a few of the many examples:

• The person who knew from an early age that he was good for nothing - but found fulfilment and success when he allowed Jesus Christ to lead him.
  
• The woman who truly believed that she was stupid and inadequate, because her parents told her so as a child, who is now highly regarded by all who know her.
  
• The person with an incurable drinking habit who was set free in an instant by Jesus Christ and no longer needs or craves alcohol.
  
• The businessman who sold out to Christ and found that he can be successful without resorting to dishonesty or 'smart' accounting.
• The singer / songwriter who loves to sing for Jesus first.
• The man who was always very focused on wealth and possessions, but has become generous and giving since he chose to join God's team.
• The lady who was healed in her own home when she claimed healing by the blood of Jesus Christ.
• The ex-drug addict who now has a full-time job working to help others with  addictions.
• A man who had 'lost the plot' until God miraculously saved him through a suicide attempt in order for him to fully dedicate his life to Jesus Christ. 

" … when you see people praying and prayers being answered week after week, it makes you think.” 

Church for Children

Children are very welcome at CHURCH@Claremont.  We have a newly refurbished creche for parents and toddlers, and a team of dedicated children's workers who are keen to provide interesting ways for children of all ages to learn to worship God as they learn about Jesus Christ.

... Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”  (Matthew 19:14 NLT)

Is God Speaking to Me?

You can be sure that He is - but are you hearing Him?

History, as told in the bible, is all about God's dealings with mankind - His much-loved creation.  He desperately wants to have a relationship with every one of us - but, so often, we reject Him - sometimes without even being aware of it.  

God gave us the bible as one of His main ways of communicating with us.  We have the choice - to read the bible and live our lives according to His plan - or to ignore Him and hope for the best.  I, and many others in this church, have chosen to allow Jesus Christ to lead us, by reading the bible, praying and doing what He tells us.

There are many other ways that He tries to get our attention and to lead us.  We would love to take time to help you to understand how to hear from God and what it means to follow His Son, Jesus Christ.  Please ask us to help - the church has people who will be pleased to help and pray with you as you try to understand what God is saying to you.  

Claremont Music and Videos

Claremont Church, Bolton has a long history of writing, performing and recording our own music.  We want you to enjoy this too - and to join us in worshipping the King of Kings.  To listen to some of our music, please follow this link.

Whilst our building was closed during the COVID pandemic we continued the life of the church on-line via Zoom and other means.  We learned to make video films of our songs - allowing us to sing to our Lord and worship Him together, yet in the safety of our own homes.  These videos were so successful that since the church building reopened, we have continued to produce them for use in our worship services.  So far we have produced about 200!  If you would like to watch our own special brand of music with it's attached video, please follow this link to our YouTube channel.  

If you wish to use those videos, unmodified, in your own worship services, you have our permission.  If, however, you wish to modify, re-post or in any way monetise them, please contact us first.
