St John's Upperthong
Located on Upperthong Lane between Holmfirth and Upperthong, we are a welcoming church that seeks to share a living faith with the local community. In May 2026 we combined with St David's Holmbridge, Holy Trinity Holmfirth & All Saints Netherthong under one grouping - The Western Holme Valley Churches - seeking God’s vision for the future in our beautiful corner of West Yorkshire. You can find out more about us, our services, groups and events at our website

Safeguarding
Each of our churches are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and each church has its own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Leeds’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police on 999 and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
