Welcome to the Haworth Parish Church website. Please take the time look around and explore our beautiful church. Even better why not come and visit us. We would be delighted to meet you.
As you will discover Haworth has a long history of Christian worship. The church has played key roles in the development of the churches in England and internationally. For example John and Charles Wesley visited during the time of William Grimshaw and adopted his method of bible study. A certain Northern Irish Anglican priest became the last Curate of Haworth; he brought with him his children ~ the rest, as they say is history.
But Haworth is not just history. It is a thriving dynamic Pennine village that opens its doors to visitors all year round and the church plays an active part. The church holds true to the Christian traditions of the past but is forward looking and is the parish church for Haworth. It is there to meet the needs of the people of Haworth, as it is their church. So as you will see there are regular Sunday and weekday services to which you are very welcome to attend. We are privileged to be a part of the key events in people’s lives whether it is a Marriage, wedding blessings, a baptism or sadly a celebration of a life. But the church has a Christian witness for all visitors and holds key events such as the Carols by Candlelight, the 1940s and 1960s services through out the year. Each year many prayer requests are left on the prayer tree that members faithfully pray through.
Our vision is that the church should continue to play a key part of village life for future generations and so it needs a building fit for that purpose. That is why we are undertaking a massive restoration project and are inviting everyone to become part of that. We want to leave a Christian legacy that our grandchildren and their children can build on; just like our predecessors did.
So why not join with us; come and visit us; ask us how we can help you; say or write a prayer or just sit silently in the beauty of the church and allow God’s love to wash over you.
God bless you and see you soon,
Peter
Rector of Haworth Parish Church
