Welcome to St John the Evangelist, Goole's Parish Church St John's, from Estcourt Terrace
Whichever way you head towards Goole, the spire of St John's Church is one of the landmarks visible for miles around, along with the dockside cranes and the 'salt and pepper pots' water towers. The spire points upwards from the heart of the town, and that's a good way of thinking about the church that meets there too, firmly rooted in the community and looking upwards – we're here to love God and love Goole.
To find out more about Goole, the church and its work use the links below: GOOLE Info, links and photos of the town. ST JOHN'S History of the church and facts about the building.
