The Garrowby Churches are set in the Yorkshire Wolds and consist of five parishes: Bishop Wilton, Bugthorpe, Kirby Underdale, Skirpenbeck and Full Sutton.
We want our churches to be places where the story of Christ is known and lived out, transforming the communities we serve. We try to achieve this in our everyday life: at work, in education, in our neighbourhoods or at leisure but also through our worship, celebrating with family and friends.
View benefice homepageWe welcome everyone to come and worship at St Edith’s.
On the second Sunday of each month there is an 10.30am Holy Communion and our worship has been enhanced and developed to include a popular family service at 10.30am, usually on the last Sunday of the month. (See our "What's On" section for upcoming services and events.)
Our usual worship pattern is from the Book of Common Prayer, a service of Holy Communion at 9.15am on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. Everyone is welcome. Please see our "What's On" page for changes to this pattern..
St Mary's is part of the Garrowby Benefice. We hold one service per month (on average) and everyone is welcome to come and worship with us. (See our "What's On" section for upcoming services and events.)
All Saints welcomes everyone.
Kirby Underdale parish consists of the village itself as well as several hamlets and outlying farms. All Saints’ Church has a strong sacramental tradition. There are two communion services each month using the Book of Common Prayer.
All Saints’ Church has a long and rich history. People are drawn to the church for many different reasons. Some come for the peace and tranquillity within the church. This, and the sense of God’s presence, is a common theme of comments in the Visitors’ Book.

Everyone is welcome at St Mary's. We are blessed to have a number of young children as members of our village community, many of whom attend church regularly. Young people play an active role in services through playing instruments, reading lessons and leading prayers. The ‘family feel’ to services is further facilitated by the provision of refreshments at the end of services.
