Church is a ward within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside, in the north‑west of England, forming part of the wider Southport area. It is primarily suburban in character, sitting amid residential streets with pockets of green space and local shops rather than heavy industry, and benefits from good links into the Liverpool City Region.
Locally the ward has a strong community feel, with schools, churches and voluntary groups playing a prominent role; its housing stock includes a mix of interwar and later terraces and semis typical of commuter suburbs. Historically it grew as the town expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries, and today local politics and neighbourhood initiatives tend to focus on issues such as housing, transport and preserving green belts and local amenities.
