Welcome to St.Barnabas Church, Danesmoor.

St. Barnabas Church is part of the North Wingfield Team Ministry

This consists of 5 churches: St. Lawrence, North Wingfield, St. Bartholomew's, Clay Cross, St. Mary's, Pilsley and St. John's, Tupton. All the churches are committed to the New Wine visions and values. There are some aspects of ministry which are best done within a community by the local church and some aspects are best done as a team. We actively seek opportunities to work together.

St Barnabas Centre was opened in November 2007

It is a modern purpose built community hub and church. The Centre was built upon the site of the Victorian-built church. A number of original features where incorporated into the new building, including an original stained glass window depicting Saint Barnabas and a font which is now located in the peace garden. Two new stained glass windows were commissioned by the congregation and designed by David Pilkington.

The St Barnabas Centre's aim is to allow the local community to flourish by providing a modern state of the art venue.

The Centre houses St Barnabas Church and St Barnabas Nursery as well as being home to many local community groups including the Darby and Joan Club and Danesmoor Youth Club. The Centre is used by the community for birthday parties, functions, weddings, meetings and conferences.

The helmet of salvation: covers our head inside and out, we have to get God's word inside our heads, not just by reading it, we have to study, God's word is a living word and because it is, it's as relevant today for us as it was, when it was written. You can read the same passage and get something different from it every time you read it, and you can read it to someone else and they get something totally different, but each person gets what they need God to show them at that moment. God is amazing. Protect yourself immerse yourself in God's word today, tomorrow and everyday. The sword of the Spirit: the final piece of armour the only offensive and defensive piece as the others are all defensive, the sword is the word of God, now the enemy also knows the word of God, it’s just twisted, used out of context and not from God, when you are full of God's Spirit he will let you know its not right, go and check His word, we are not fighting against each other, flesh and blood but an Unseen enemy, that Jesus has already defeated, we need Spiritual weapons to fight a spiritual battle, that's why we need to dress in the armour of God everyday, to be ready for whatever comes our way. God is for us none can be against us the battle has already been won, but the enemy will keep trying to get you back, but we are God's, put on His armour. Putting all the armour on everyday, because we have to physically guard ourselves everyday, the enemy doesn't like it that we are God's and he wants us back, so he will be underhanded, lie, cheat, make you question yourself, that's what he does, but with God's armour we can stand firm, as God is for us, none can be against us, God has already defeated the enemy, We have His authority, do you know that? If not that's why it's important to know God's word. Worship, pray and read, but also listen, God speaks in ways you don't expect.
