The Church of England in Marsden and Slaithwaite is made up of three churches: St Bartholomew’s in Marsden, St James in Slaithwaite, and ‘Shred‘ (a mission Church) in Upper Slaithwaite. We trust in God, and offer loving Christian service to the local community.

Community Cafés & Warm Spaces
We have two Community Cafés: on Wednesdays 10:30am to 12:30pm in Slaithwaite (St James) and on Thursdays 10am to 2pm in Marsden (St Bartholomew’s). Both of these cafés offer good quality hot food and something to drink in a warm environment where you can meet others from the village and find companionship. We offer this food and drink freely from our Christian love for our neighbours, but these are not ‘religious’ cafés: whatever you faith, or even if you have none: everyone is welcome.

Living in love and faith…
“Living in Love and Faith” is the title of a reflective process the Church of England has been taking to think about human sexuality and Christian teaching. The bishops of the Church of England have been studying the Scriptures, reflecting on the Church’s tradition, engaging with the resources, and listening to the churchwide responses. Their task has been to discern God’s voice about what this learning means for the Church of England. The outcomes of their discernment are copied here following this link. The Vicar has reflected on this with his own thoughts which can be read here.
