Shipley

Welcome to City Valley Shipley

At City Valley Shipley we are following the call to be disciples of Jesus, encouraging each other along the journey. Our aim is to reach those in Shipley and the surrounding areas with the good news of Jesus whilst we journey life together as a family of believers. Will you join us this Sunday? You’d be most welcome. 
 

Sunday Mornings

We meet 10.30 am - 12 pm on Sunday mornings. Most Sundays we meet at Shipley C of E Primary School, BD18 2PT. We would love to see you there!

The entrance is via the red gates on Back Birklands Road, at the very end of Castle Road nearest the school. There is free, on street parking on Sundays on the surrounding roads.

What to expect

When we meet for our regular Sundays at the school we usually start with a lively time of worship for all ages, followed by teaching from the Bible. We believe God speaks to all of us, and we love being encouraged by contributions from anyone who wants to share. Afterwards, there is plenty of time to catch up over tea and coffee.

Children and Youth

We love having lots of children and youth in our church family at Shipley. During our Sunday gatherings there are clipboards with colouring in sheets for during the worship, and during the talk, our Stars (3 -11s) have a separate time of fun and games whilst getting to know God and His word, led by the team.

Our Emerge youth group (12-14s) are offered clipboards with guided questions to help them understand the talk. They have their own separate time of discussion at the end of the meeting, led by one of the team. Emerge also meet fortnightly on Friday evenings - get in touch for more information.

Our regular older youth Pursuit (15-18s) are encouraged to serve on teams on Sundays. Pursuit also meet fortnightly on Friday evenings - get in touch for more information. 

The Starlings room is available for parents of under threes to access should they need some space away from the main meeting. The audio from the main meeting is played in this room and there is a selection of age appropriate toys available.

Accessibility

There is step free access to the building and an accessible toilet available. Accessible parking is available in the school playground - please speak to one of our welcome team on the gate when you arrive.

We appreciate accessing church may be difficult for those who are neurodivergent, we are happy to answer any questions you may have and provide photos ahead of your visit. Please get in touch if this is something you feel would help you or your family. 

Midweek Small Groups

Church isn't reserved for Sundays. We meet in smaller groups midweek for 1-2 hours to catch up, pray and study. We often discuss the Sunday talk but regularly pray for and encourage one another in life's challenges and celebrate with each other in the wonderful things God is doing in our lives. Please get in touch for more information. 

Coming up

Talks

During our times together we open the Bible and hear practical teaching from God’s word to us. Our teaching focuses on the life that can be found in Jesus Christ and the outworking of that in our day to day lives.
