Community celebrates Christ Church Upper Armley’s 150th birthday

Members of a West Leeds church have celebrated their 150th birthday.

Christ Church Upper Armley marked the occasion with a grand community celebration.

The church held a fair, displaying work from local primary schools and the secondary school inspired by the church, along with clothing exchanges, the production of a mural, and a bouncy castle and free cake and drinks.

And the Right Reverend Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds, preached at a multicultural, all-age service, followed by a lunchtime banquet. 

Over the weekend the church saw some 500 people at all the festivities.

The Rev Phil Arnold, Vicar at the church, said: “Christ Church has been serving the community of Upper Armley in ways that have evolved to adapt to the local community. 

“Where there were once pews, there is now space for the food bank, for Meeting Point, for GCSE revision, uniformed organisations, Warm Welcome groups, toddler groups, along with worship. It’s an exciting time to be here!”
