Filey Parish Churches | Filey

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.

Filey Parish is now "In Vacancy".

As Rev. Phil Maudsley has left to take up his new post as "Ministry Area Leader" for the Penarth Ministry Area in South Wales, Filey Parish is now in the process of recruiting a new Vicar.

During this time of Vacancy, please contact the Parish Office (opening times at the foot of every webpage) in the first instance.

St. Oswald's Open Church -

St. Oswald's Church is CURRENTLY CLOSED.

St. Oswald's Church is normally open every day from 10am to 4pm, but there has been a fall of masonry, so we are working with the Diocese of York to see if the church can be made safe to use.

There is more information on the St. Oswald's page about the normal opening.

However, we are dependent on volunteers opening St. Oswald's, therefore, please be aware there may be days when we are unable to open.

Christian Aid Week 2026

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to Christian Aid Week this year - the total amount raised was £1343.69 - the result of a magnificent effort. This sum does not include any Gift Aid that is claimed and administered by Christian Aid. Special mention to John for all his work in co-ordinating everything this year. This means that more women like Belinda (see video below) will be able to support their families through urban gardening. Thank you all.
