Initiated by the congregation at St Martin-in-the-Fields in 2017, HeartEdge is a movement for renewal, fuelled by people and churches sharing their assets, experience, resource and need.
An ecumenical network, HeartEdge brings brings together people to share ideas and experience, do theology and develop their church and community. We are developing in the UK, US, the Netherlands and elsewhere.

HeartEdge Manchester
The Diocese of Manchester has been successful in a bid from the Church Commissioners’ Strategic Development Fund. The bid aims to develop projects that will grow church, community, culture and social outreach in a number of churches across Manchester. Part of this project involves creating a new ‘Hub Church’ in the existing parish church of The Ascension, Hulme, working with St Ann’s Church Manchester and Sacred Trinity Salford – working with St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, and its HeartEdge network of churches, with the aim of developing congregational life, cultural and commercial activity, and social outreach across all three churches and beyond. Music is at the heart of this project, with plans to build a new church music programme in Manchester through establishing new choral education programmes, alongside community choirs and children’s music-making activity.
Upcoming Events
