About this meeting

Came To Believe takes its name from AA's Second Step and meets every Wednesday at 6.30pm at St Barnabas Church on Chapel Lane in Heapey, on the eastern edge of Chorley. It is a closed meeting, for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, and it makes St Barnabas a three-meetings-a-week AA venue alongside the Sunday and Monday groups that share the church. A midweek early-evening meeting fills a real gap: early enough to reach after work, and midway between the weekend meetings when a week can start to feel long. If Wednesdays are your wobble point, this is the local answer.

Common questions

Who can attend this meeting?

Anyone with a desire to stop drinking — this is a closed AA meeting, reserved for people seeking recovery themselves. Family and friends should choose an open meeting, such as Sunday's at the same church.

Do I need to book or pay?

No. Just arrive at St Barnabas Church on Chapel Lane, Heapey, shortly before 6.30pm on a Wednesday. It is completely free.

Are there other meetings at this venue?

Yes — St Barnabas also hosts AA meetings on Sunday at 6.30pm (open) and Monday at 6.30pm (closed), giving Heapey three meetings a week.
