MISSION STATEMENT
To spread the Good News of the Gospel to the people of West Melton by taking every opportunity to make our Christian purpose clear.
THE LOCAL SETTING
The church is in a rural setting in which the main occupation used to be mining. It is part of a regeneration scheme which is brining new jobs and small businesses to the area. It is about halfway between the centres of Barnsley and Rotherham.
THE CHURCH BUILDINGS
The church was formed in 1797 and the church built in 1799. There is a small field for activities and a burial ground behind the church. The church is a Grade 2 listed building which has to be considered when maintenance and updating need to take place.
Next to the church we have our Community Hall which has recently undergone major refurbishment and now complies with the disabled access legislation. The hall is well used and is available for hire by members of the local community.
