About Us

We are a loving, welcoming and multi-generational church, based in the heart of Abbeydale, Sheffield.

We have two services on Sunday mornings - a 9am traditional communion service, and a 10.30 contemporary worship service with a kids group. Around once a month we have a joint service all together at 10.30am.

Our Mission

Our mission is to Love God, Love People and Make Disciples.

Love God: We love God because he first loved us. We are called to love God with everything we are and in every area of life. At St Oswald’s we want to be Jesus centred, passionate in worship, shaped by Scripture and led by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Love People: Jesus calls us to love our neighbour, and we long for everyone around us to know they are loved by God and by us. We want to be a church which loves and serves those around us, and create opportunities for people to explore faith and encounter Jesus.

Make Disciples: To be a disciple of Jesus is a lifelong adventure of learning to listen and obey the one who died and rose again for us. We want to be intentional about growing as followers of Jesus, and helping others to come to know him for themselves.

History

St Oswald’s church was built in 1910. In 2004, when St Peter’s church Abbeydale was demolished, the two parishes joined together as a single community- the parish of St Peter and St Oswald Sheffield. In January 2026, Simon Oatridge became our Vicar and brought with him around 25 members from our neighbouring church, All Saints Ecclesall to revitalise St Oswald's. Since then, our church has grown, as we look to get to know, and serve, the people of Abbeydale.
