Welcome to the Parish of Baildon

Welcome to the Church of England in Baildon. We have three churches, St John’s Parish Church, St James’s and St Hugh’s. Our Churches are a witness to God’s love in this community as we meet together for prayer and worship every Sunday and serve this community in all sorts of ways. You will find a warm welcome at any of our churches and we are always here for you.
View our regular services pattern here or view our Calendar below.
We live-stream our Sunday Service on our Facebook page every week. The weekly service booklet is available on our website so you can follow the service at home – click on ‘Service Sheet and News’ on the tab below.

St Hugh’s has just completed six weeks of the Summer Lunchbox Scheme. Over the school summer holidays, we helped feed 95 children from 38 Baildon families by supplying breakfast, lunch and snack supplies weekly. Local primary schools helped us invite families who are struggling with food costs particularly over the long school break. In total we supplied 4890 meals! The total cost of the scheme was £3210. Thanks to our funders (WISHH Partnership, Westgate Drama Group, The Butterfield Trust) and Burbank Market for fruit supplies. Thanks to the 14 volunteers who shopped, packed, distributed and brought us loaves of bread and boxes of cereal. A great effort!
