About our parish

A place where everyone belongs

We're a friendly Church of England benefice made up of two parish churches in neighbouring villages - Holy Trinity & St Oswald's in Finningley and St Saviour's in Auckley. Whether you've been coming for years or you're popping in for the first time, you'll find a warm welcome.

Our services range from traditional Holy Communion to relaxed, contemporary worship. There's live music, there's good coffee, and there's always someone happy to chat. We believe church should feel like coming home.
