History
Bolton Villas Family Church is a part of God’s family in Wrose, Bradford. The church began as a house group in one of the nearby Villas in the late 1800’s. In 1900 the community, with support from a wide range of Christian communities were able to build a place dedicated to Christian worship on the corner of Livingstone Road and Wrose Road – our present building.
Our building has been extended and refurbished several times over the past 100+ years, but we have always sought to ‘BE GOOD NEWS’ to our local community in Wrose. We do this in all sorts of ways: by providing a place of worship and Christian teaching; space for community groups to meet; groups for both young and old to gather; and generally by being a church for the whole family. We seek to meet with, pray for and support this our community which God loves with an everlasting love.
These eight Foundation Stones were laid when the church was first built in 1900. They are a visible reminder as to the different communities that came together to ensure that our church could be built. Since then our building has been extended a couple of times, the most recent in 2009 when we had a new foundation stone laid.
Wrose Christians Together
We often work together with the other Christians in Wrose:
As a group of local Christians we work together to tell of the Good News that God loves everyone lives and works in Wrose and wants them to hear the glorious message of Salvation, a message of forgiveness and of being made whole through Christ Jesus.
