Kairos - the appointed time in the purpose of God - the time when God acts.
We are a church but not necessarily as you imagine church to be. Our passion is to be followers of Jesus who live out his mission – people who are good news in our workplaces, families and friendships. We gather together at various times and places and also go out in midsized/mission-shaped communities (MSCs) around the Harrogate area.
Feel free to explore our website to find out more. |

St Mary’s Low Harrogate is now known as Kairos Church. Mark Carey, Priest in Charge, explains, “Kairos is a Greek word of great significance for Christians as it speaks of the appointed time in the purpose of God. For Kairos Church this means becoming a new kind of church in the Church of England, which focuses on releasing communities of followers to live out the mission of Jesus. This is being worked out through people who are good news in our workplaces, families and friendships. We gather together at various times and places and also operate in midsized/mission-shaped communities (MSCs).”
“MSCs are communities of our people each of which has a distinctive vision or mission that shape their activities. For instance our latest MSC is called Double Espresso and focuses on The Jesus Relevance. This presents the person of Jesus as being the answer to typical and contemporary challenges and situations faced by ordinary people. Double Espresso meets once a month in the informal setting of a coffee shop (Cafe Culture, Leeds Road, Harrogate) and hears real-life stories of how Jesus has made the difference to challenges such as bereavement, debt, the death of a child and terminal illness; but also everyday matters such as marriage, parenting teenagers and working in different career areas. The Jesus Relevance highlights there is no area of life, or no life experience where Jesus can’t make a difference".
Double Espresso will be served again after the summer break - watch the calendar for details.
