Welcome to Holme Wood

Holme Wood is a large estate on the outer edge of Bradford, and has been home to many people since it was built in the 1950s. The community has a strong sense of identity, and in the midst of that we seek to show God’s love.

At St Christopher’s we seek to welcome all people through our doors.

As well as Sunday worship, St Christopher's is a base for some amazing community projects - Good Neighbours and The Family Centre - which seek to serve the local community and express the love of God in practical and tangible ways.

Do take a look at the boxes below to find out more of what is happening in Holme Wood!
