All Christian churches share a common mission and key points of belief. We are a Church of England (Anglican) church, but of course each local church has its own style and 'feel'. We try to make St Barnabas feel quite a relaxed place. Our mission statement ('vision' and 'goal') describes what we believe is God's unique plan and purpose for this particular local church.

There is a service every Sunday morning, at 10am until 11.30. Refreshments at the end, please do join us and enjoy a free cup of fresh coffee or tea, etc.

St Barnabas' is a Church of England (Anglican) church in the village of Swanland, East Yorkshire, 7 miles west of the great city of Hull. We belong to the West Hull area of the Hull Deanery (local Anglican church group) as well as maintaining links with national movements such as New Wine and Spring Harvest.

Our team helps to make our church what it is. We have a great team of people - here, part/ full time, paid and volunteers: cleaner, vicar, children and youth leaders, office staff, parish assistants and more...

We try to reach out to our community in a number of ways. As well as regular village events, from time to time we invite our friends and family to the Alpha course - 10 evenings exploring the Christian faith.

St. Barnabas supports mission and outreach through prayer, giving and practical support across the world. We have particularly strong links with other parts of Hull, and with parts of Africa.

Everyone is welcome - and we run special activites to make all ages feel especially welcome. Children We have a number of passionate and experienced people who lead our work with pre-school, primary and pre-teen children as they learn about God from an early age. We also have a midweek Cygnets toddler group (Tuesday mornings), and on Sunday mornings there is a creche plus small groups for children of both pre-school and primary school age. Youth We also have a number of midweek home groups and activities for young people who are at secondary school or college, led by our a dedicated team of volunteers along with those who also lead our Sunday morning youth group
