Part of the AMOS cluster of Churches in Bradford 5.
All Saints and St Oswald’s
Both churches offer a lively mix of old and new hymns and songs in the Holy Communion service, a Sunday School for children, and a warm welcome. Why not try us out?
We belong to the Anglican Communion, within the CofE Diocese of Leeds.
As a member of the Church of England, our Churches have adopted the House of Bishops safeguarding guidelines to Promoting A Safer Church.
At All Saints, we believe that God loves us and that he sent Jesus to die for us and to rise again from the dead. Through faith in Jesus we find our wrongdoings forgiven and we know peace with God and with one another. And one day we look forward to being with God in heaven.
Sundays
Sunday worship is at 11.15 a.m. when we meet God in the teaching of the Bible and in Holy Communion. There is Sunday School for children during the service every Sunday except the first of the month. After the service time we serve drinks and cake and a chance to meet one another.
For beginners
Once or twice a year we offer a six week ‘START!’ course for those wanting to explore their faith. In a small group in the vicarage we meet over coffee and video to discuss the meaning of life. Contact the vicar.
Our Vicar
All Saints shares a vicar, Rev. Canon Stephen Treasure, with St Oswald’s Church, further up Little Horton Lane.

Lent 2019
Every year in January I go on a Reading Retreat at Parcevall Hall, the lovely Retreat House owned by the Diocese of Leeds near Appletreewick in the Dales. So each time I take some serious books and my walking boots. This year I took Richard Foster – ‘Prayer: finding the heart’s true home’. I was reading with a view to preparing the Lent Course that Derek and I are leading this month, and I wanted to get ahead.
The themes of the book, relating different sorts of prayer, how they happen, how they impact us, examples of people who have found different styles helpful – all this was on my mind as I set off up Simons Seat on the Tuesday afternoon. As I walked, songs came into my mind, and as I sang them in my head I imagined my voice like that of Pavarotti (I know, it takes a bit of imagining…) reaching the high notes at full volume. It was all in my head, but as I sang, too out of breath with the climb to sing out loud, I imagined I heard the surrounding hills echo the words of the song. In my head I was singing the ‘Halleluiah Chorus’ from Handel’s Messiah; as I sang ‘And he shall reign for ever and ever’, the hills around echoed ‘For ever: and ever!’ Even now as I type this, I am almost in tears with the power of it. As in Psalm 114, ‘The mountains leapt like rams, and the little hills like young sheep’.
I do invite you to the Lent course these Wednesdays in March. This is a chance for all of us to get into the mind and heart of God.
Refurbishment at All Saints
The Rank Foundation’s Pebbles grant scheme awarded All Saints £1,500 and the R. E. Chadwick Foundation £500. This will help cover improvements to the nave floors, storage cupboards, kitchen refurbishment and re-wiring. (An outside handrail is given by private donation). A faculty has now been awarded and work is expected to start after Easter.
Another faculty is being prepared to restore the metalwork, install display lighting, and fix the historic Communion rails. This money comes out of the £58,900 awarded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The fund also has allowed us to employ a ‘Heritage and Facilities manager’, Jonathan Bramley, a former teacher at All Saints School. He will prepare displays and contact schools and community groups to visit All Saints and view all this heritage.
All Saints School
The school will join the congregation again on Mothering Sunday, 31st March, when there will be a presentation by the children, and singing by the school choir.
