ST GEORGE’S, LEEDS PLANTING CURATE ST GEORGE’S is an evangelical charismatic Anglican church, with links to New Wine. We have a strategic city centre location, next to Leeds General Infirmary and the University of Leeds, and gather people from across Leeds and the surrounding area. Average Sunday attendance is about 475 adults (including students) and 45 children/young people, plus a further 80 adults at Lighthouse. Our vision is SHARING LIFE, LOVING LEEDS – we do this by preaching Jesus, making disciples, serving the city and sending out leaders. Our website gives a good snapshot of what is going on: STGS.ORG.UK
