North Wakefield Benefice

We are a benefice of four churches across five distinct communities in North Wakefield, West Yorkshire. 

We have a strong desire to serve our communities through the living of Christ’s teaching and the good news of the Gospels. We may be in the 21st century but Christ is still, if not more, relevant today than ever.

It is our desire to bring an open and welcoming vision for the future of Alverthorpe, Outwood, Stanley and Wrenthorpe through cooperation, generosity, inclusion and openness.

As we begin a new phase in our churches it is our desire to embrace traditon and also be open to the needs of today but most of all to keep Jesus Christ at the heart of all we do.
