  • February 2025 News Update

    This Month

    Our big news this month is that our new pastor David Robey started on the 2nd February and this month we are blessed with two pastors. Pastor Andrew Calvert will formally retire at the end of February after 38 years, starting as our assistant pastor back in 1987, but will remain on our church council and still play an active part in our church life.

    Pastor David Robey’s official induction service takes place on 23rd February at 10.30am.

    Children’s weekday activities will be paused for half term, so no toddlers group on Wednesday 19th February, and no Lighthouse on the 14th and the 21st of February.

    Our Thursday evening Bible study remains on Zoom during the dark evenings.

About Us

Cross Street Church is a family Church which aims to communicate the Christian Gospel in a way which is contemporary and relevant to all ages. When we meet together we enjoy good Bible teaching, warm fellowship and lively worship. A variety of activities take place at the church and you will always receive a warm welcome.

The Minister of the Church is Andrew Calvert, who was born in and has lived all his life in Congleton.

Our official name is Congleton Pentecostal Church but we are known locally as “Cross Street Church”.

Mission Statement

The purpose of Congleton Pentecostal Church is to give every man, woman and child the opportunity of understanding the Gospel and to be a Church where people can grow and develop for the glory of God.

Jesus said to His disciples: “You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hid…”  Our vision is to be like a city set on a hill, shining the light and love of Jesus for all to see.

Our aim is to do this, not by staying within the four walls of a building, but by reaching out to the community around us and to a world in need.
