Church Wedding and Wedding Blessings.
Each Church is very attractive and an ideal venue for weddings. We try our best to make the Church the perfect location for your wedding and the service a real celebration of your love for each other and God’s love for you. As well as wedding couples from Pontefract, Sheffield, Wakefield, Doncaster, Leeds, and Huddersfield, we get requests from couples in London, Hull, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh. It is now easier to get married in church than ever before. You don’t have to live here to be married here. We very much hope that you will choose to be married here in Church, or to have your wedding blessing here. Each Church is beautiful, romantic and historic, a perfect setting for your special day.
The Church welcomes you to celebrate a birth of a child.
Give thanks for the safe delivery of a child, or after adoption, come and see us for a chat, or visit the Church. Baptisms are free, as your child becomes a member of God’s Church.
The Church welcomes you in times of need and sorrow.
When your need is greatest turn to the Church for comfort and support, to know that God is real and that God cares. Have a coffee or tea after the service, and meet the congregation, they are all human!
The Church welcomes you as you are
The Went Valley Parishes are in the heart of Yorkshire just outside Pontefract.
