Welcome to the Benefice of Hampsthwaite with Felliscliffe, Killinghall and Birstwith

We are four village churches sharing one life of worship, welcome, and community. Each church has its own character and history, yet we belong together as a single benefice, rooted in the beauty of Nidderdale and committed to serving our villages with warmth, prayer, and hope.

Whether you are exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for a place to belong, you are very welcome.
