St. Paul's Church Information

Committed to being an inclusive church, St Paul's offers a warm Yorkshire welcome to everyone; children and adults of all ages, dispositions and backgrounds.

We meet for worship every Sunday morning at 10.30am for various styles of worship, followed by refreshments and chat after the service. As a registered Fairtrade Church, we use Fairtrade certified products wherever possible. We are part of the Upper Valleys Cluster and once a quarter, we join with the other churches in our cluster, to worship together.

Our church is mission-based, primarily focused on serving this local community. Local interest social groups, singing groups, support groups and Local Authority child services all use our building.

Together with other church partners, we try to share the love of God by various means including a weekly Sunday Get-Together where we offer food, warmth and company, projects aimed at engaging with those living in the immediate vicinity, a Live Nativity with animals in the stable at Christmas, plant swap/giveaway and more. At Christmas and Easter, respectively, we join our church partners in the distribution of knitted chicks and angels in the town.

We also support, and have close links with, the work of the local Happy Days charity for the homeless.
