Holy Nativity
Celebrating 70 years!
On 30th June we celebrated 70 years of Life with God here at Holy Nativity Mixenden.

Over 90 people attended the service and celebration including former members of the church and community who came from far and wide to share their fond memories…
More Building updates!
Following on from the big March clear out and the creation of the new church office we’ve been doing even more to improve the back stage facilities here at Holy Nativity. For such a busy and active church, we really struggle for storage, and thanks to the UKSPF grant and some help from community partners it’s been great to see progress on making everything more organised and easy to use. Starting with the vestry – where all the items for…
Funding Update
A lot of our UKSPF funded development project is about the big building project here at Holy Nativity, but at the same time we are still focused on delivering all the amazing activities and community benefits that we already do. To help us with that we get lots of support from local, regional and national funders and we are thrilled to report that we have two grants just in which will help us move forward. First, with the support of…
In The News!

It’s great to be getting so much attention – if you spot us anywhere in the press do let us know and keep…

The funding enables us to have two…
Making Progress With The Building!
It’s been a busy first month for our development manager and a willing bunch of volunteers from the church and the local community!

We found loads of fascinating artifacts that tell the story of the past 70 years at Holy Nativity and…
