St James is a Church of England presence in the heart of Cobbydale. We are in the Bradford area of the Leeds Diocese. Predominantly our congregation live in Silsden but we extend a welcome to everyone. There has been a church on this site since 1712.
Please see our website using the link below for up-to-date information about services and events.
At the moment we are in a period of vacancy but church continues as normal with all activities and services continuing.
We play a big part in Churches together in Silsden, alongside the Methodists and Catholics.
We also have involvement with several community groups such as Silsden Gala, and Christmas Market and Nativity.
