The recent budget changed VAT rules so alterations to listed buildings, such as St John's, will now be liable for 20% VAT. This will make a huge difference to our ability to pay for work on our building. Please consider signing this petition asking the government to reconsider.

The new Bishop Doncaster recently rededicated memorial plaques brought from St Mary's Old Goole. For more details click here...

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.
