What we Believe

We believe in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible, making an impact with those who do not know the great news about Jesus Christ.

We believe we should share that good news of Jesus, equip people in their faith journey and see them live their faith out, in the world.

To find out more about what Christianity is, please click here

At the church we believe in...

The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.

The incarnation of God's eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.

The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.

The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

St John the Baptist Chapel

Bondgate Ripon, Bondgate Leeds
07525 930521

St John's is a small chapel built in 1869 on the site of its medieval predecessor, founded in 1109. The architect was W H Crossland of Leeds, and the chapel is built in sandstone  in the late pointed style. It is a very simple space, with an apsidal chancel and attractive east windows . The chapel has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.

The congregation  varies between 16 and 24 with a warm, welcoming and even intimate feel to our services. The weekly service is Common Worship at 10.45am, and fairly traditional -  but we are informal and relaxed in our worship and fellowship.  The 10.45am service on a first Sunday is Creative Worship, suitable for a wide age range with more informality and often an activity.

St John's is a local community church, with large numbers of baptisms and funerals, we are also available for Weddings.

Our vision is for a building which  is engaged with the community throughout the week, and which is regarded as community space, not just as the 'funeral church' in Bondgate. In June 2015 we held a Celebration Service led by the Dean of the cathedral and Bishop James, Area Bishop of Ripon, to mark the reopening of the chapel after undergoing a major refurbishment. The chapel now has underfloor heating, new lighting, and comfortable chairs, giving a warm, safe and welcoming worship space. Bookings are now being taken for one off or regular events.
