We are a church situated in the heart of our village - which is on the edge of Wakefield. Our worship is joyful and we offer a number of services in order to cater for increasingly varied work patterns in society. Our congregation is very varied in age and are a mixture of people who have lived in Crofton for many years and those who have moved in quite recently. We are lively and encourage lay ministry of all kinds. We have a strong pastoral visiting team and are very warm and welcoming.
