Churches Together in Ackworth
Churches Together in Ackworth is a group of several different Christian Churches and Meetings who meet together regularly to plan services and events within the village. We comprise, the Church of England, the Methodist Church, the Ackworth Community Church, The Quaker Meeting, and the Catholic Community.
Please see below some information on each church.
The Church of England
We have two churches in the Village, St Cuthbert’s Church in High Ackworth, and All Saints’ Church on Wakefield Road, Moor Top. Both have services on Sunday mornings, with All Saints’ Church having a Sunday afternoon service, and midweek service as well.
Before the pandemic we had run several regular events, and many one off events. As we emerge from lockdown we hope to start such events again. All events will be found on our website, or advertised on our Facebook page.

Ackworth Quakers
We are the Religious Society of Friends; we place a high value on developing true friendships and quality relationships.
We are a religious group, members of the "Churches Together in Ackworth", whose religion is rooted in Christianity. However, we have no creed and Quakers have a wide range of belief. We have no pastors or priests and learning about religious matters and developing faith is seen as personal responsibility. Pastoral care is the responsibility of everyone. We worship in silence which is only broken when someone feels moved to speak; we call this "ministry".
Our experience has led us to accepting what we call our testimonies: testimonies to peace, equality, truth and simplicity. from our testimony of simplicity, has grown a strong witness to concern for the environment.
