Consultation on New Bolton Resource Church

Plans are progressing for a new Resource Church in Bolton, with consultation underway on a proposed Bishop’s Mission Order (BMO), the formal framework for authorising and overseeing new mission initiatives. The Resource Church would create new opportunities to connect with students, young adults and others not currently part of a church community.

The consultation documents are available below:

As part of the consultation, an open meeting for Bolton Deanery will take place on Thursday 12th November at 7pm at St Paul and Emmanuel Centre, Deane, and the consultation will remain open until Monday 30th November. Subject to consultation, approval and readiness, it is hoped the Resource Church will formally begin in spring 2027.
