About Us

We are the Church of England (Anglican) parish church for Swanland village, East Yorkshire, 7 miles west of Hull.

We are here for you... the local community in Swanland. If you live in the parish or have connections to us, please talk to us about having your wedding here or a christening, whether or not you attend regularly. If you live in Swanland and are getting married in a Church of England church elsewhere we can read your banns. We take funerals for parishioners in St Barnabas Church or at the local crematorium. Or perhaps you need someone to talk to or pray with.   Just ask...

Every Sunday morning we meet for a service from 10 am to 11.15 am, with a group for children aged 3-11 most Sundays. Some small groups meet in homes across the area through the week with some mid-week activities in church including our popular Tuesday baby and toddler group - Cygnets.

If you want to find out more, please call or e-mail or arrange to see our vicar for coffee and a chat or a more formal conversation. Alternatively, just turn up at one of our services or midweek events, or pop into the reception area inside St Barnabas' front door during parish office hours in the week (Mon - Thu, 10am - noon).

Our Church Prayer:

     God of Mission

      Who alone brings growth to your Church,

      Send your Holy Spirit to give

      Vision to our planning,

      Wisdom to our actions,

     Joy to our worship,

     And power to our witness.

     Help our church to grow in numbers,

     In spiritual commitment to you,

     And in service to our local community,

     Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
