ST AUGUSTINE'S
CHURCH
Otley Road, Bradford, BD3 ODR
Welcome!
St Augustine's is a friendly, welcoming church serving the Otley Road and Undercliffe area of Bradford - though some come from further afield. We are drawn from many different backgrounds. Our main Sunday service is at 10am weekly. We usually celebrate communion and have children's groups, with an all age service of the word on the 3rd Sunday of the month

Coffee Morning
Each week we host a Coffee Morning, which also serves as a Warm Space and a Place of Welcome, kindly funded by Bradford Council.
It runs every Tuesday from 10am to 12pm. You’ll find some of our regular churchgoers and key church members there, alongside members of our wonderful BD3 community.
Feel free to drop in for a warm drink, a slice of cake, and some good conversation plus it’s completely free!
Home Groups
St Augustine's currently hosts three of the four home groups operating across the benefice. Two meet fortnightly on Thursday evenings—one in the church and one in a church member’s home. The third meets on selected Tuesdays, also in a church member’s home.

St Augustine's building was redeveloped in a creative and beautiful way over 30 years ago, led by our assisting minister Canon Robin Gamble, when the nave roof of the Victorian building of 1877 needed replacing. It is light and practical - great for conferences, events and parties, especially with its beautiful walled garden in the ruins of the chancel of the original church.
Twenty years ago, the church worked with the wider community to buy the former St Augustine's primary school building next door and found Community Works, led by Canon Denise Poole. This has grown into a substantial project.
We still have a church school link via Westminster CoE Primary Academy where the old school was re-sited. Anna Gulland, our youthworker serves as a governor there. We also welcome schools visits from the other schools in our patch.
