The Church: A Welcoming Community

There’s a warm welcome waiting for you at our churches in the Parish of Wath with Brampton Bierlow.

We’re a group of ordinary people from all walks of life, learning together what it means to follow Jesus and support one another.

If you’re curious about faith, returning to church, or just looking for a place where you belong, why not come along? It doesn’t matter about your background or where you’re starting from.

Much More Than Just a Building

Church isn’t just a place—it’s people. It’s friendship, encouragement, and finding hope in everyday life.

When you visit, you can expect:

A friendly atmosphere without any pressure
Space to reflect, pray, or just observe
Real people, not perfect ones

Come and See for Yourself

You don’t need to have everything worked out. Just come as you are.

Join us this Sunday, stay for a chat, and see what we’re about. There’s a place waiting for you here.

Service times can be found on the individual church pages.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

Mission Statement

Our aim is to follow Jesus in every area of our lives.

We do this by:

Being a welcoming church - worshipping and growing in faith together

Praying and learning together

Sharing the good news of Jesus

Serving our community

Our Parish Ministers

The Oversight Minister, Rev. Charles Burton

Hi. I’m Rev. Charles Burton, oversight minister for the benefice of Wath with Brampton. I take most of the services at either church, including baptisms, weddings and funerals.

Hi. I’m Rev. John Parker, associate priest. I support our oversight minister in taking some services and working to reach out to those outside the church.

The Lord’s Prayer

This is the prayer our Saviour, Jesus Christ, gave us.

It is always a great comfort to everyone, wherever they are, in times of trouble.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Church Online

We have had an online presence for many years. However, this grew during the COVID-19 outbreak. Our churches were no exception, and many services were conducted by video. You can view them on our YouTube channel.

Thy Kingdom Come – a global movement.

The Church of England has a free national phone line to provide a simple way for praise and worship to enter people’s homes. Daily Hope offers music, prayers, reflections, and full worship services at the end of a telephone line.

The line is available 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044. It has been set up, particularly with those unable to join online services during the period of restrictions in mind, and it’s still in operation now.

Please pass this information on to anyone who would be glad of it.
