Filey Parish is an enthusiastic Church of England family that offers a variety of worship styles from traditional to very informal.
You will find a warm and friendly welcome at all of our churches
as we gather to worship God in fellowship with each other.
We welcome all people
with love, respect and equality.
Covid-19 Update: March 2022
There are now no restrictions on coming into church. By all accounts, we are now back to ‘normal’. Although restrictions have been lifted, we continue to ask you to be thoughtful and careful as there are those among us who are vulnerable. When coming in it is a good idea to sanitise your hands and we will continue to offer that facility. Masks are not mandatory.
Tourism
‘Open Church' has started again.
