COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Guidance

Presenting our services live from our Manchester building has been a brilliant experience but it has made us miss being together!

On Tuesday 23rd June, alongside introducing the new 1m plus rule and lifting restrictions in other areas of life, the UK Government made it permissible to open churches from the 4th July.

Official guidelines giving clarity and details on the Prime Minister’s statement will be published in the next few days which we will take the time to review so we can plan how to implement these measures safely and fully. Until we have done this, we are unable to give you a clear picture of when and how our buildings will be reopened to gather physically at this time.

We are committed to continuing to deliver an online church experience that will influence and inspire beyond our walls. We are conscious that there are people who remain shielded and others who do not feel ready to attend a service in a physical location yet. As guidance becomes clear, we will, of course, move towards live services in our buildings AND continue with the excellent online services which we have been doing, allowing as many people as possible to enter into the presence of God whether in their own home, a friend’s home or from whatever their locations might be.

We are committed to delivering a safe, accessible, and faith-filled church service within the current guidelines. The health of every person attending is particularly important to us, hence we are continually working on plans to ensure that when you attend our church services, all the applicable COVID secure, health & safety regulations are delivered. In preparation for our return, we’re in the process of getting stocks of PPE and teams are being trained and empowered to ensure you, your family, and your friends can enjoy the experience.

There will be further updates soon, as we keep you up to date on our roadmap to commencing physical gatherings. Check this page for continued updates in our plans for the future.

Hebrews 10:25 says “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another“. Although not in a building, let’s adopt this principle and set aside time this Sunday to meet online, participate and encourage others.

Why not also come online 10-15mins before the service or stay 10-15mins after the service – the chat will be open so grab your home-brewed coffee and connect in the online ‘Lounge’!

Join us online at from 11 am where you can access the service, contribute to the online chat and submit your prayer requests and praise reports. You can also host our services as parties on Facebook in order to get others to be part of the experience.

Giving 

Although we will not be meeting together in the church building, we believe it’s still a time to honour God with our finances. Your giving is still helping us to continue our work of reaching out into society and making a difference in people’s lives. To help you transition to a new method of giving please click . Give 

The future

We will be in contact soon with other ways we are going to keep connecting and with more information as the days go by.

Let’s continue to be the Evolve Church we are by staying connected, serving others and praying for our world.

We love you and will be in contact soon. We look forward to connecting online for our services this Sunday.
