• We are a family friendly Anglican Church, part of the Diocese of Leeds, locally centrally in Ben Rhydding, at the foot of the beautiful Ilkley Moor.

    Our vision is to be a growing Christian family that encourages each member to grow in faith and discern God's call, as we share God's love and bring the benefits of God's kingdom to our world.

    We have decided to pause our Sunday 8.45am Holy Communion service (said) in Church but we are meeting on line every Sunday at 10am using the Zoom app. You are very welcome to join us. We are uploading this service as an interactive service sheet with links to songs, prayers and the talk for the day to use in your own time. See On line services   

    The ARK, our service with and for those with additional needs, their families and friends, is meeting on line fortnightly - please contact us for more details.

    Our Church is now open for private prayer Tuesday to Saturday in the afternoon.

    Messy Church for families, which meets bi-monthly, is currently suspended but we are looking at ways to stay in contact during this time. Please contact us if you are interested. We normally run two midweek Toddler groups (term time) but these are currently suspended.
