We are a small church with a big heart.

We pride ourselves on our warm welcome and our love of music in worship.

Some of our church members were born in Longwood, baptised or married at St Marks Church and continue to worship here.

We provide traditional services as well as less formal family services. Seasonal services and a wide range of social and fundraising events, involving the local community.

We welcome children to all services and provide a children’s corner in the church with books and toys.

We have connections with local groups and schools and care about the community of Longwood and beyond.

The parish is a supporter of the Children’s Society with a collection at the Christingle service and through the Home Collection boxes scheme, CART (Christian African Relief Trust) a local and national charity and the Welcome Centre In Huddersfield. In addition to other nominated charities.

St Marks has supported the Diocesan link with Mara in Tanzania and has a parish link there. Money raised through various means has been sent to the parish to assist in the building of their church.

The priest is supported by a number of people, including a Baptism visitor. There are rotas for intercessions, readings and sidespersons.

We are a congregation seeking to grow. Everyone is welcome wherever you may be on your spiritual journey.

During this dreadful period in our lives Father Simon would urge you all to keep yourselves and families as safe as possible whilst still having some sort of life beyond surviving. Keep Positive, Keep Praying, Keep phoning friends and family and Keep Active.

As we keep physical distance between each other let us be closer than ever to each other in other ways 

 Please pray for community spirit, for goodwill, for peace and for those who are fearful for their own or others' lives. God Bless
