HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH

Hope Baptist Church is a working church in the centre of Hebden Bridge. In addition to traditional church activities such as Sunday worship, we offer wellbeing activities and a safe space for people to explore issues of spirituality. Our large building provides a home for a number of community groups and the chapel is a venue for music and spoken word events.
