Building a Church in Ghana

Over the next few months the young people from the various groups at church are coming together to raise money for a church in Ghana. Currently the church building is a tin roof held up by posts but there is a vision to build walls. Every pound raised will buy 2 bricks. In the coming months the young people will be organising fund raising by car washing, cake stalls, gardening and sponsorship events.All the money raised will go towards building materials.

 

A Parish Church for Utley

St Mark's Church BuildingSt Mark's Parish Church serves not only the Parish of Utley but also a membership that covers an area stretching out as far as Skipton and Bradford.

Some of our congregation regularly work as far away as Leeds and Manchester, or even have employment that takes them overseas. We are part of the South Craven Deanery in the Bradford Diocese.

Members are encouraged to identify with one congregation - whether a Sunday congregation or the Mid-Week or Friday congregations - to build a greater committment to shared community. The church is increasingly organising around individual congregations each of which has its own leadership team.

The church building is amazingly compact and dates back to 1889 when it was established as a daughter church of St. Andrew's, Keighley.

The original building has been substantially added to and the interior was re-ordered in 1982 to facilitate the demands of modern worship. About 200 people worship with us on an average Sunday, excluding visitors.
