St Oswald's

Welcome to St Oswald’s!

We are a welcoming and friendly parish church that seeks to serve our community by providing opportunities for worship and service to those in need.

The Revd Simon Oatridge became our Vicar on Monday 19th January 2026, and brought with him around 25 members of neighbouring church - All Saints Ecclesall. Since then, our congregation and team has continued to grow as we seek to get to know, and serve, the people of Abbeydale.

We worship in our church building every Sunday. 

We have a 9am traditional communion service, and a 10.30am contemporary worship service with kids groups. Once a month we have one Sunday service altogether at 10.30am.

Everyone is welcome, no matter where you’re from or where you are on your faith journey.

We hope to see you soon!

Scouts gives young people skills for life. We actively engage and support them in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

In partnership with adults, young people take part in fun indoor and outdoor activities. They learn by doing, by sharing in spiritual reflection and by taking responsibility. They make choices, try new and challenging activities, and live their Scout Promise. All of this is underpinned by our Scout values. The values of Scouting are integrity, respect, care, belief, and cooperation.

Scouts at St Oswald’s learn through doing, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges to learn life skills. St Oswald's Scout Group has around 85 young people who weekly engage with a wide range of life skills education activities both indoors and outdoors supported by around 40 adult volunteers some in full leadership roles and some in occasional helper and specialist roles to make the Scout Group function. Most meetings have a time for reflection where young people and adults reflect on how they live Scouting Values and their section’s Scout promise.
