Jesus calls his Church to be united.  We work together with other local churches so that we may enjoy fellowship, build each other up, learn from each other and be as effective as possible in all our mission and ministry.

Formerly the Three Churches Project, we facilitate creative events, activities and informal courses, to help develop skills and build relationships in the local community. Being very much part of the wider community development strategy in the area, we work alongside others to see lives transformed.

InterACT Church and Community Partnership, or InterACT for short, is about working TOGETHER, ACTIVELY, in our local community. The development also reflects the fact that more congregations are now involved in the partnership and outreach work, with new volunteers and leaders from the Baptist and Methodist churches in Meanwood working alongside those from Stainbeck, St. Matthew’s, Holy Trinity and local residents with no church attendance at all. Of course, we continue to have strong links with the other congregations of Chapel Allerton and are also building stronger connections with small groups from Wharfedale Vineyard and Mosaic. We hope that more and more we genuinely reflect the local Christian community living and working in and around Meanwood.

The name change starts with immediate effect, although it will take a little while to update the website and official documents to reflect this. Please bear with us through the formal transition, give thanks for the positive moves forward and pray for a future where we continue to see transformation of Church and community.

We aim to discover God's purpose for the area as we seek to demonstrate His love in words and actions.

A few prayer points to provide guidance as to how we at Holy Trinity can pray for InterAct and our community of Meanwood.

• Please give thanks for the increased number of partners involved in InterAct and that there is a greater understanding of how they can work together as the churches of Meanwood for the good of the Meanwood community
• Please pray for the three weekly groups that meet, youth club/drama club/craft club
• Please pray as people begin planning holiday clubs for the end of August
• Please pray for all the Agencies and Partners InterAct work with who are facing uncertain times due to staff redundancies during this economic climate
• Please pray for all those who hire the many church halls in Meanwood that they would glimpse what the churches are doing to help the Meanwood community

Deanery Team

We are part of an informal team, set up within the Deanery of Headingley, seeking to find ways to help and equip each other in mission.  Our partners are St Georges, St Matthias Burley and St James Woodside.

Working with our Neighbours

We work with neighbouring churches in various ways, including a shared service of Holy Communion with Meanwood Methodist church once per month (see services) and an annual Advent Sunday service with St Matthew's Chapel Allerton. This year will will be joining St Chad's Headingley for an Advent course.
