on May 9th. New Team of Ministers on the Way to Goole
Thanks to a grant from the Church of England the Diocese of Sheffield will be putting a team of ministers into Goole for six years. The team will have three clergy, a children's / youth worker, a musician / worship leader and an administrator. This major investment in Goole will mean a huge increase in what we can do, building up the church here, including a range of new services, and as we grow supporting more work in the wider area. |
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.
