St. John the Baptist Church is the historic parish church of Dronfield and the planting church for all the churches in our team. Itself planted by monks from Beauchief Abbey in the 12th century, it was and remains an important outpost of God's mission to the people of Dronfield, who take real pride and ownership in their parish church. The beautiful Grade I listed building is of national significance and is open every day as a peaceful place of prayer. Services are usually traditional in style, with a four-part robed choir, and also a monthly informal family service. Wednesday morning communion services attract a faithful core membership from across the benefice too. The church hosts major civic commemorations and celebrations, and we have good links with local schools who enjoy their regular visits.
