The Eldwick Church is a valued part of the Bradford Episcopal Area and the Diocese of Leeds, as well as the Airedale Methodist Circuit. The village of Eldwick, sitting on the ridge overlooking Bingley, has expanded over recent years with new build housing, and is now home to c2500 people. The Eldwick Church is the result of an Anglican Church and a Methodist Church coming together in January 2011 to create a church for the local community, born out of the conviction that they can witness and serve this community better together. As Eldwick is largely within the parish of All Saints Bingley, a Bishop’s Mission Order (BMO) was created in 2013 to enable the church to have its own distinct identity. This has worked well, and the BMO has been reviewed and renewed every five years since then. The church has a high standard of lay leadership and associated structures. The finances and buildings are in very good order. After meeting some local resistance over a first set of plans, a new church hall complex was built in 2018, with major works then undertaken in the church in 2019. Since then solar panels have been fitted and the church car park re-surfaced. This has resulted in a very attractive building complex which is well used by community organisations and groups, as well as for events. It has also enabled the forging of better and stronger relationships with the local community, with large numbers of people using the church buildings during the week. This appointment is on the basis of House for Duty (2 days a week plus Sundays) and is the Diocesan ministerial contribution to the LEP. The appointee will need to understand and value the ecumenical nature of the church. (S)he will work alongside a named minister from the Airedale Methodist Circuit, who will be providing presbyteral input to Eldwick alongside a number of other churches.
