The Congregation at Fulneck are always very welcoming and friendly. A new face in the congregation is always seen as a new friend.

Our Church services take place at 10.30am every Sunday and the Lovefeast and Holy Communion Services take place on the first Sunday in the month at 2.30pm.

Our Junior Church is a fun and interesting place for your child to learn, to play, to think and to discuss the bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The children join the main congregation at the start of the service and following the Minister’s address to the children, they leave to attend Junior Church.

On Thursday Mornings there is a short service in Church at 9.45am where we pray for the Church and the wider world. We have a Moravian Women’s Association, a Men’s Fellowship and a Bible Study Group.
Fulneck is a community and is made up of many parts. Our Church was completed in 1748 and is nestled between the Fulneck School and the Choir House forming one of the longest terraces in England, commanding an outstanding view of the valley.

A Tour of Fulneck
From entering through the gates of the Fulneck Settlement you will pass by a pretty row of cottages and will meet the Burial Ground which we call, ‘God’s Acre’. It is very different to other burial grounds due to the flat, square, gravestones. It is placed in a beautiful setting maintained by our Burial Ground Steward and his many volunteers.

The start of the terrace begins with Fulneck School on the East Side. Early Moravians, in particular John Amos Comenius, believed that universal peace could be built on universal knowledge and that children should be educated. Moravians also believed in the education of girls in a time when girls where largely uneducated, hence the Girls’ School was started in 1755.

Adjoining the school is accommodation provided by The Choir House, part of the Moravian Church. This accommodation was originally provided for the Sisters (females) of the Church.

The layout of the Church is different to many churches in the fact that it is wider than most. Originally the sisters (females) and brothers (males) would sit on separate sides of the church. Whilst we still maintain some traditions of that time, such as the Moravian Hymn Book and Liturgy and also, the female Chapel Servants will wear traditional dress at certain occasions, we now all sit and worship together.

It is a wonderful atmosphere to attend our Sunday Services as the sunlight pours through the stained glass windows and the sound of the beautiful organ rouses us to sing out loud.


Once a month usually on the first Thursday of the month we have an organ recital by Dr Simon Lindley.


Moving along the terrace we have further accommodation provided by Unitas Estates. This accommodation was originally provided for the brothers (males) of the Church. You will now find The Parsonage.

The Boys’ School completes the terrace. It was started in 1753 and in 1994, the two schools united to form, Fulneck School.

The many parts of the community exist not only in buildings but in its social connections. The Moravian Women’s Association meet every Wednesday after Communion Sunday at 7.30pm and there is also the Moravian Men’s Fellowship.

The Boys’ Brigade building is frequently used for Line Dancing, every Thursday at 8pm and is often a place to enjoy tea and cakes after a church service.

Fulneck has its own Golf Club and its own Restaurant, Zacchary’s.

Zacchary’s restaurant on the settlement has been very involved with the Church Community on several occasions for fundraising and for the Heritage weekend. It’s also a great place to eat.

For all those budding actors and theatre goers there is the Fulneck Dramatic Society. They put on three productions annually and cover everything from comedy to tragedy, drama to pantomime. They welcome new members if you would like to act, build sets or simply join in. You can also become a patron of the society if you would prefer to be involved by watching from the audience.

If you would like to know more about Fulneck and its history then please visit the Fulneck Museum (pictured left). It has just celebrated its fortieth anniversary and offers a wonderful insight of how the Moravians used to live. It is open from 2-4pm on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from Easter until the end of October every year. It is the only museum in Pudsey and holds both Moravian and local artefacts.

As you can see, there are many parts that piece together to form a picture of Fulneck with the Church at its core. Please come and visit us.
