About Us

We are the Church of England (Anglican) parish church for the village of Swanland, East Yorkshire, 7 miles west of Hull.

We are here for you... if you live in the parish, or have connections to us, then please talk to us about having your wedding here or a baptism (you do not need to attend on Sundays). If you live here and are getting married in a Church of England church elsewhere we can read your banns.  We are also here for the difficult times in life; we take funerals for parishioners in St Barnabas Church or at the local crematorium. Or perhaps you just need someone to talk to or pray with.  Please contact our parish office in the first instance.

Our multi-purpose building opened in 1992. St Barnabas has around 100 adult church family members on the electoral role, on Sunday we have around 50 adult members each week and up to 15 young people and children in the service. At Cygnets we often have about 2 dozen pre-schoolers and a similar number of adults.

There is a service every Sunday morning, at 10am to 11.15am. The service ends with refreshments in the church hall (rear of same building), please do join us and enjoy a free cup of fresh coffee or tea, etc. We have a group for children aged 3-11 most Sundays. Everybody is welcome throughout all our services.

We have a variety of small groups meeting in homes across the area through the week and some mid-week activities in church. Please contact the Parish Office for more details.
