Our celebration that Jesus rose again!

This year we will be holding two services due to the numbers in De Grey Rooms. These will be at 9am and 11am. Both services will be the same with a talk from our curate, James Congreve-Horn. The service will be family-friendly with children’s activities, worship, prayer, communion and baptisms as we celebrate the amazing resurrection of Jesus.

Save your space for either service below.

Join us as we spend a Sunday dedicated to learning about the work of CAP and all that has been happening over the last year in our CAP Debt centre.

We have two guest speakers joining us that day:

9am and 11am - Alex Jones (Acting Director for Fundraising and Income)

Alex is a dedicated and visionary leader who has been instrumental in shaping CAP’s fundraising and income strategies since joining in 2017. With a strong belief in the inherent dignity and infinite worth of every individual, Alex is driven to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.  Alex firmly believes in the collective power of individuals working together to bring about positive change, be it through prayer, volunteering, advocacy, or giving. A Baptist by background and membership, he is passionate about church unity and celebrates the rich diversity of Christian expression across the world, eager to harness it to see lives transformed.

6pm - Peter Snell (Money Coaching Lead)

Peter first heard about Christians Against Poverty (CAP) when his church at the time, on the Isle of Wight, decided to partner with CAP to help local people locked in unmanageable debt. Ever since seeing it firsthand he’s been passionate at the way that CAP and the local church together can see lives, families and communities totally transformed, and how serving in this ministry transforms your own life too. Peter has worked at CAP for 9 years during which time he spent 2 years at CAP New Zealand as well as leading our National Speaker Team in the UK. He currently leads CAPs Money coaching network of over 500 churches, which, since 2008 has empowered over 80,000 adults to experience the freedom of feeling in control of their finances. 

Our curate, Vicky Earll, will be moving to Hull ahead of our next church plant in Autumn. Vicky has been with us at The Belfrey for over three years and we are sad to see her go but excited for all she will bring to her new role in Hull.

Today will be her last day with us and so we will be praying for her across the day and celebrating her after all our services so whichever service you attend, please do stay and celebrate.

9am - Join her for cake at 9am coffee, after the service in Belfrey Hall.

11am - Join us for cakes and snacks after the service with music.

6pm - Join us for drinks after the service with cakes and snacks.

On New Years Eve we will be having just one relaxed service at 10am where we will be sharing communion together, worshipping and hearing from the Word. The service will last around an hour.

Across the day, we’ll be baptising at all our services. Join us as we welcome people into the church family.

If you haven’t been baptised yet, we’d love to talk to you about it. Get in touch at hello@belfrey.org

Welcome to The Belfrey! If you are new or still trying to find your place in the church and get connected with others, we'd love to invite you to our welcome lunch. 

We'll be sharing food together, a time of community and one of our clergy will share some vision about our church and who we are.

Sign up here to let us know you’re coming and to help us prep any dietary requirements.

Across our services today we’ll be taking some time to reflect on conflicts across the world and remembering those who have given their lives. We will spend some time time in each service marking this with a time of prayer and silence.

Join us as we see Andy being consecrated as our Interim Priest in Charge. 

This service will last around an hour with liturgy, worship and be led by the Bishop of Selby.
